Christmas Cheer
A Christmas poem I wrote:
My Favorite Time of Year
This is my favorite time of year
The season of giving
The season of cheer
I remember memories fond and dear
Over the years
I have grown so much since then
Opening presents
Believing in Santa Clause
Getting my first Nintendo game system
I remember getting a set of cars
And sing-along Disney videos
A Gameboy Advanced
And this year
I will get something
Even more precious
I will spend time with my fiancé
Get to look at wedding rings
And dream of the day
We get married
I will see our photos developed
Think back to Prom night
Such delight
That comes to my mind
Thinking of treasures past
I will get to rip open
Dozens of presents
Have dinner at Grandma Jeanie’s
And treasure every memory made
I will get to spend time
With my family
I will remember
Last year’s Christmas spent
At Carole’s
In snowy Arizona
Watching the stars shine bright
In the desert sky
And waiting
For the Havelinas to come out
What other surprises await me?
The gift of giving
Is always more special
Than the gift itself
You often remember
What occurred
Over the cool presents
You received
This year
I will share a Christmas party
With my best friend
And enjoy good food
As we exchange our hearts
Our presents
This is the time of year
That I look forward to most
The gift of giving
The warmth of the home
The end of the year
To see how much we have grown
Christmas is close to my heart
Bringing families closer together
Making others cheerful
Inspiring others to give back
To the community
That is the beauty of Christmas
Watching the snow fall
On a quiet morning
When the clouds are grey
And just outside
You notice
A winter wonderland
That has formed in your heart
What a beautiful season!
With the remnants of fall
Still visible
The leaves being teased
By the cool breeze
A relief from summer
The bright sun
Blinding
Against the quiet blanket of snow
This is my favorite time of year
When the holiday season beckons
And Christmas is near
The presents pile up
Under the tree
The houses are lit
All the way down the street
Christmas is here
My favorite time of year
Indeed what a beautiful
Season it is
When everything calms
And the blanket of snow
Settles the hustle and bustle
Of the town
This is my favorite time of year
When children gather
And sing Christmas carols
A cheerful call
Heard around the world
The season of giving
To those who have little
Make others smile
And renew hope
What is the greatest gift?
The gift of giving
And of joy
That can be given to anyone
This gift is priceless
And treasured
It can be found
In the heart
This is my favorite time of year
When the sparkling snow falls
When hearts sing and gather
When we give to others
Showing unconditional love
This is the time
I look forward to every year
The season of giving.
