[bodytext] => Another Thanksgiving dinner cooked Still reeling from the energy it took On to creating a new Christmas surprise To mirror the magic in my child's eyes Boxes of tinsel and lights clutter the floor Sorting through each to find the right décor Singing off key to carols on the stereo Unsure where this year's theme will go He walks in and asks, whatcha doing here I'm getting ready for Christmas, my dear Decorating the tree, shelves, and four walls Must get the house perfect for Santa Claus Each room will reflect our Christmas pride Look on his face stops me in mid-stride You mean, without decorations or a tree Santa Claus won't bring a present to me Gathering him upon my lap as I realize My grownup vision is clouding his eyes Little one let me tell you a precious story Of what Christmas truly is and its glory One cold night long ago in a far off land Heralded by Angels with trumpets grand Appeared a bright star meant to lead the way To the birth of a precious child on this day For on this very first Christmas morn The Son of God, our Savior, was born Sent to give hope and love to all who cared The joy of Christmas is meant to be shared See, Christmas is more than tinsel and toys More than Santa's list of good girls and boys Christmas is the day we celebrate his birth Given by God to teach us our Heavenly worth It's also a day to gather family and friends To hold close memories that will never end He smiles as he whispers, may God Bless us Let's wish everyone a very Merry Christmas [comments] => 2 [counter] => 201 [topic] => 18 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Holiday Poetry )
