What I Love About Christmas
It is my favorite holiday.
The tree lights which shine ever so bright;
Feeling warm from the fires at night,
Gifts and baked goods some neighbors share;
All of the presents wrapped with care.
The stockings hung by the fireplace;
Seeing the smiles on a child's face,
Unexpected gifts by our door;
People who help the needy and poor
Christmas carols and cards we send;
The kind greetings shared with a friend,
Love which is shared in many ways;
Spectacular concerts and plays
Seeing kids sit on Santa's knee;
Hearing them laugh and shout with glee,
Remembering the real reason
That we celebrate this season

I like how you vividly describe what we tend to see at Christmas time and how you reminded us of the real reason we celebrate it. The holidays is such a lovely time of year, even writing and reading about it brings us cheer. Your poem made me happy Darla, well done.
This is so pretty, Darla. A pleasure to read and reminisce.
