Christmas is a dark time of the year but it is also a magical time.  As lights decorate and brighten the landscape.  It is a time of the year when many people think of others.

There is magic in the air.... Christmas Magic!

I

stand

here decked

with garland and

other baubles waiting.

Waiting, for what I know not.

Jewels twinkling on my boughs.

Dressed, for a party and I wait.

Waiting for some important date.

While stacks of packages at my feet;

dressed in their Sunday best also wait.

Music fills the air. I want to dance.

Swaying in a breeze instead of standing.

The children sing. "O, Christmas tree."

A Christmas tree,

I stand and wait.

For the coming

of Christmas!

A Christmas Memory is one of my longer poems about a girl in a children's home (orphanage type place) who wants for Christmas a new blue dress with silver threads. You can read it here.

Caring people

Helping those less fortunate

Richly blessed in return

Individuals making a difference

Special Christmas stars

Taking the time during the busiest time of year

Making the holidays brighter

Angels waiting for their wings

Singing songs of "Peace on earth. Goodwill to all men"

("Goodwill to all. No matter race,creed,or gender")

                      A

                     star

                    in the

                  night. A

*tiny star lights up the dark night.*

    Announcing a special birth.

         The birth of a small

                infant, who

            will replace hate

           with love.   Hope

          in a                   tiny

        st                           ar

Joyous holiday

Hectic, giving, exciting

Time of love, togetherness

The First Christmas Alphabet Poem

Angels appeared to shepherds.

Brilliant star pointed the way.

Christ child laid in a manger safe.

Darkness in Herod's heart.

Every young male child ordered to be killed.

Following the star wise men from the east.

Gifts of Frankincense and Myrrh carried.

Heaven come down to earth with a baby's birth.

Inns in town were all full.

Just a lowly stable was empty and waiting.

King of kings borne that Holy night.

Love descended from heaven in the form of a child.

Manger of hay his cradle.

Noel the angels did sing.

Offering hope to a weary world.

Peace on earth the message of that first Christmas.

Queries made by Herod about the Christ child's whereabouts.

Rage his consuming emotion.

Slaying of innocent children the end result.

The first Christmas a bittersweet time.

Under the night sky shepherds tended their flocks.

Visible to them was the bright Star.

While angels appeared proclaiming the "good news".

Xed out by God the sins of humankind.

Years later the wonder, miracle of that first Christmas remembered.

Zion also remembered as Christ's birth and death are intertwined.

As you celebrate Christmas with your love ones may you remember;

"The First Christmas" when love came down to earth with a child's birth.
