Poems about Christmas for Family and Friends

In today's world we are inundated with images of Christmas from the media. We are told that it is all about buying expensive gifts for each other. In today's challenging economic times it is a tragedy that parents spend way more than they can afford to try to please their children. The sad truth is that, "money can't buy you love". A holiday is about the time spent together with loved ones. It is about gifts that come from the heart, and it is the about the thousands of years of tradition that mark the holiday season.

    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 1, 2024 with permission of the Author.

    Winter time is here again, the trees are all but bare

    Bikinis, shorts and summer tops, have all been packed away
    They won't see the light again, till next year's summer's day.
