Merry Christmas (Rhyming Acrostic)

I find acrostics easy to compose; rhyming acrostics are another story altogether. The above photo is very small as always happens at AD. The writing states: Merry Christmas and happy holidays from Chilliwack Mountain, B.C., Canada. Yes, my home is hidden on the right among the trees.

Merry Christmas

 
 (rhyming acrostic) 2008
 
May you be blessed this day and throughout the year.
Even through dark days may you have no fear.
Receive these wishes with love and with peace.
Reject all evil, your torment will cease.
Your spirit will soar; you’ll be filled with cheer.
 
 
Can you tell me please what Christmas means to you;
How these changes come from city to bayou?
Ring the bells and tell all to gather ‘round.
I shall tell you a story of what the shepherds found.
So long ago and oh, so far away;
The Child of Light was sleeping on the hay.
Magi came with gifts and angels sang on high.
All the world’s nations seemed to heave a soothing sigh;
Saviour Lord Jesus was born so none would die.

Hi, Regis, I'm late for Christmas, but not too late to appreciate this wonderful Rhyming acrostic! It is beautiful, and tells the story well. Even today, one who receives Jesus heaves a soothing sigh. Well put.
The picture is beautiful, too--what a gorgeous neighborhood you have.

You capture well what Christmas means to me, Regis: the birth of Light, Hope and Peace that pass all understanding because they are infallible, enduring and totally gifted, not earned.

Very nicely executed and a nice sentiment to all, Reg. Merry Christmas to you and your family, also. Though I have done an acrostic or two, I don't believe I have ever done one with rhyme...strange since "I write with rhyme so much of the time".
Take care,
