Just Around The Corner

We know what is right around the corner as the air slowly cools down to a freeze. We run to reach for those warm coats, boots and mitts to keep ourselves from the chill. All in all we know we love it, we look forward to the bright city lights and the shoppers happily singing as they go about choosing the perfect gift for each person on their list, as we keep in mind the true meaning of this blessed season.

Just Around The Corner

The weather feels so cool outside,
I wonder where's my  winter boots,
I found my hat, my scarf and mitts,
Even my warm bright red snowsuit.

I found my shovel and my salt,
Prepared for what we soon will see,
For just around the corner
folks,
Will be Christmas for you and me.

Out in the town are the shoppers,
Going about with such glee,
Buying the perfect gifts for all,
To place beneath the Christmas tree.

Such a beautiful time of year,
An amazing birth we all celebrate,
With lots of gifts and many lights,
Desserts and birthday cake.

When we go back through time,
To the birth of this tiny new born King,
We realize what a joyous season,
As we join in the choir to sing.

The brisk breeze felt upon our face,
The snowflakes fall form the sky,
But when we take the time to think,
The celebration for this season we cry.

For here is our heavenly Father,
Watching over us night and day,
Loving each of us unconditionally,
So we could live this life today.

A beautiful poem about the "reason for the season." Yet, everywhere I look I already see Christmas decorations with the intention of getting people to spend, spend, spend. Somehow, many young only know Christmas as a time for getting presents and then being upset because they didn't get what they want.
I would be happy if the holiday was celebrated for THE reason, instead of commercialization.
Thank you for the timely reminder of why we celebrate Christmas.
Love. Kathy
