Christmas is nigh.
Excitement is everywhere.
Malls decorated with beautiful lights.
Fully endowed Christmas trees a major spectacle.
The Christmas star on most street lights.
Celebrities have come together,
to compose fancy Christmas carols.
The shops packed with gifts to the brim.
People rushing to buy gifts for their loved ones.
Excited children eagerly waiting for Santa,
to bring their most desired presents.
Naughty kids trying to turn a new leaf,
this they usually do near xmas.
They wouldn't risk missing their gifts from Santa.
Is it going to be a white Christmas?
'Let it snow!' A secret wish in many hearts.
London has never been busier.
Everybody is looking forward to xmas.
Mostly because, it's family and presents' time.
But all I want for Christmas is for your face,
your wonderful face my Lord, to shine on me.
Shine and forever shine!

tells soooo much....And, we spend so much of our lives on earth
looking for the smiling face of approval ...we want to see in others
the face of acceptance...saying...you can come into my presence
It's Okay!...Yet...how often deceptive!
As your poem pointed out...while the splendour of Christmas season
offers...gifts...spoils...you came to realize how much you need...in fact
that's "all you need"....the glad face "above you"...see the smile on His
face...The metaphorical use of Christmas...birth of a child...forming
relationship child-mother-father from the very beginning...also counts
for your relationship with God...His face seems to be...that of earthly
parents...saying to a child..."welcome...we are proud of you...just
the way you are...at this magic moment...God rejoices in you...all the
rest seems a little less important...when gladness...when acceptance
prevailes...when Heavenly Father looks at you Mary...glad...smiling
...you can survive the frowns...and rejections of any human figure...
May His face shine upon you...Dear Mary...and at Christmas when
Jesus comes to Earth...the smiling upon you God...becomes a man
so...you can see His blessing throughout you life.
Thank you for sharing your prayer.

Despite of all the excitements,
Despite of all the gifts,
we need Jesus most of all!
Well done, Mary!
The true meaning of Christmas is celebrating his birthday
Our Christ the lord
And always remember who he is, for the light shone upon him
On the night he was born
Love and peace be with you
