The Christmas Star
High atop the Christmas tree
A star glows shiny-bright
Reminding of the one that shone
On that cold and Holy night
In a humble stall in Bethlehem
From The Virgin was His birth
The Son of God, a gift of love
For the people of the earth
He lay upon a heap of straw
Placed in an old cow trough
Our Infant King slept peacefully
Wrapped in a swaddling cloth
Amid starry night an angel’s song
Rang softly through the stall
Child shivering from the cold
But not a tear from Him did fall
The animals did honor Him
They slept close by His side
Camel, donkey, ox and lamb
In peace all did abide
Kings and Sages traveled long
Bearing finest gifts and gold
To lay before the tiny babe
This miracle to behold
The star did shine night and day
It kept the manger bright
Christ the Lord, the Son was born
Beneath its holy light

There is a definitive feel about this Christmas I sense too !...Something's in the air !
And your beautifully simple rendition of Christmas and its utter spirituality, steals the breath away Sherry.
I also agree with Ed, it is a magnificent Nativity graphic accompanying the poem
