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.

To give, to serve, to love
It isn't just about yourself,
But others that you think of
I think I simply love this poem. Good job! The last stanza is very well written.

You put under the tree,

Poems are a special type of art
A form that we can all share.
It is a gift we were all born with
A form that we can all share.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
This is a beautiful famous story that sooo many children have heard probably every year. I know us five kids heard it over and over, and I read it to my three children. They still have the...
Christmas looms near.
People pass by,
singing and smiling,
and giving good cheer.
An angel called to Mary one day.
"You will have a baby," she heard him say,
Now not yet married was Mary - however
The obedient girl just said, "Whatever."
What a great poem! The poem has lots of truth behind it.
