Christmas is a season to show love and joy. It is always good to get together with friends and relatives to go to church to pray during this season.

We all should have faith in our religion and believe someone above is taking care of us, leading us to find solutions to solve any problem and making our day better and better everyday.

Thanks for sharing.

You are so right my friend, and that's why so often I write the kind of poetry that I do. As a testimony to my Father and Savior. The joy that they bring should be relished and treasured all year long. Thank you Chan for your review and comments. I do hoped you liked it. God bless my friend.

What an awesome nonet, Mystery Author. It is beautiful
regardless of contest or not. The picture set the tone for
your beautiful words. I loved the font choice--perfect without
being overdone. Great job with the syllable count per line
and the great and true message. The video was an awesome
choice. Celine's version was one of the best I've heard.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

Nonets are tough to do - especially when you try to rhyme all the lines. You have done a really good job with this, and you also have incorporated a fine message.

Hello author, this is an excellent Nonet to be entered into the contest. Your message of God's love is clear. Good format, rhyming and alliteration. Of special note:

Jesus lights all the ways
(Indeed, he does, if only Man would open up his eyes)

Lovely photo choice. A pleasure to read. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

This poem follows the rules of the Nonet poetry contest and reads well. I like the rhyming and near rhyming, which is clever but I am uncertain as to what you mean by 'God's love portrays' I would ask portrays what exactly? I am probably missing something so sorry.
Good luck in the competition

Hi Celyn, btw, I love your name. We are in the process of trying to get,
"Oh Holy Night" up on mine by Celine Dion. Is your name pronounced like hers? Anyway I want to thank you for reviewing and for asking questions. That is the best kind that will do that, especially when you are new. I checked to see if you were new and just read your nonet and if is fun and very good. But I can't review at this time or you would have known who I am. But I will later. Ok, back to your question. Where I say God's love portrays is underneath where I write, Christ Child Saves. In other words that is how God portrayed his love for us. The greatest gift to mankind. Thanks once again for your kind review, but I have got some changes I have to make, since it maybe wasn't the best idea to stick with the one rhyme because these are hard enough to stay with the meter and rhythm without doing something stupid like I did. I must have been brave last night. And yet it just isn't right at the bottom yet. Thanks tho, cause like I said you deserve a reviewer ribbon just for showing that you were paying attention and had questions. Not everyone likes it, but I certainly appreciated it. So good luck in the contest. This may be my first one yet, not to even place in. Lol. You are very sweet and I appreciate your kind words.

This is a very nicely put together poem. The color scheme matches the photo and delicately puts together an encompassing package.

I liked this line:

His great love lights all ways

Nice work and thank you for sharing!

A mono-rhyming nonet with an almost perfect shape into the bargain. There was no requirement for rhyme but kudos to you for thus completely filling it.
