Christmas is a happy time!
Listen to those church bells chime!
Come, worship His Majesty!
Let us unite--affably.

what a bright, cheery poem, Nicole -
your words describing what Christmas
is all about - Praising and thanking
our Lord and sharing time with family
and friends.


Good luck with the contest, my friend.

Margaret

Overall I think the poem is good. SI thought the poem was a little misleading. As I read it, it reminded me more of the Resurrection than the Birth of Christ. I was expecting more about the meaning of Christmas, but I did enjoy the poem.

Nice piece, god sentiments. Rhymes and flows pretty well. You lose me a little with "the end is ever near " line, but that's just me. great finish with the last two lines.
Merry Christmas to you too! Well done.

    Truly sorry if I offended, not my intent. It's just such a joyous uplifting piece until that line. Don't go by what I say I'm just a hack.

Thanks for sharing this excellent poem exploring the joy, blessings and good cheer associated with the holiday seasons. I may not celebrate this festival anymore having known its pagan origin but I won't forget that Christ should be the center of all these. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely loved this happy, feel-good poem, which left me looking forward to the coming Christmas, where we celebrate the birth of Christ our Saviour. This is very well worded, with excellent rhythm and flow. I am grateful that we are still free to worship in the country I live, although feel sadness for those who are not in some countries around the world. Your choice of artwork was perfect for this poem. Thank you for sharing.
