My Christmas Poem for you

Merry Christmas to all of you.

...

I wrote this Christmas poem last year.

I would like to share it with you again.

(I wasn't creative enough this year to make up a new poem...I put in new family pictures but the rest are the same. That is justified because my house looks exactly the same as it did last year...I am a creature of habit and decorate the same way every year....so please pretend this greeting is new to you....Maybe I will use it every year as a new tradition...is that O.K.?)

The house is decked out

with lights on each tree

With flowers and presents
and much greenery.





We have new decorations
and the old ones so dear
are out of their boxes
and up for the year.

Each table is set
awaiting the feast





of turkey and dressing,
of ham and roast beef


































There'll be yams and potatoes
and gravy galore
















and veggies and salads
and desserts and more.












But the sweetest things
that this season does bring
is not the goodies or bobbles
or pretty sights seen.
...

It's not the gifts or the parties

or good shows on TV

that are the best part of Christmas

for you and for me.
The best part of Christmas
is the feeling of love

That we have for family and friends
and our Savior above
...

It's the thought of Angels

and Shepherds




and the bright star they saw





...
and a wee Babe and His mission
that fill us with awe.
...

As we reflect

on our abundance and cheer

Let us remember

The reasons we're here

...

Let us love one another

and try with our might

to keep His commandments

and do what is right.

...

May the spirit of Christmas

we are feeling today

linger all year

and in our hearts stay.
...
Merry Christmas from our home to yours.

I put our new family pictures taken in October on my last blog post.

We love the Lord and enjoy this season when we celebrate His birth. I hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
