Remember Why Christmas Is Celebrated

It is not about the presents, but Jesus's presence.

By Darla M SeelyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

We celebrate Christmas once a year;

But we should keep it all year long.

Every year during the season

Church leaders tell us what Christmas means.

This holiday's celebrated

By adults, children too.

I think some people don't understand

What this holiday's about.

There are people who live alone

Because their spouses, kids have died.

They don't like Christmas.

For reasons plain to you and me.

We should be grateful for our gifts

Although we wanted something else.

All the joys which we give away

Will be retured to us one day.

We should try to have unity;

Say to ourselves "What would Jesus do?

Remember those who are homeless

During this special holiday.

    You have such insight for the holiday. I am one of those people who do not celebrate anymore. It is too painful, and be should be grateful for what they have, one person that loves them. I would give anything to have my son back for just one day. Nicely done - an extremely true and wonderful piece.
