 What is Christmas anymore? Buying material gifts from a store, What have we become? Filled with so much self, We have put away our giving, We have placed our love upon the shelf, What does it mean anymore? Just any other day? Stop and take a look around you, Breathe for a moment or two, The true Christmas comes from the heart, One of love and giving, A hug or smile, A friend to stay and chat awhile, Life is precious, So short, Happiness is in the little things, not diamonds on a ring, Nor silver or gold, But in memories to behold, Joy and laughter, Sharing stories of old, Eating Christmas dinners together, as the evening unfolds, Singing Carols down the street, Greeting friendly people you meet, Having food to eat, Sitting by a cozy fire, Family and friends, Gather to conspire, Homemade food and gifts, Encourageing words that give our hearts a lift, The birth of the Christ child, Who was lowly meek and mild, Helping others in need, Taking away our self and greed, Chistmas doesn't stop here, For I have Christmas everyday of the year, Look deep within your heart, Search there and you will find, That you can have TRUE Christmas anytime!

The birth of the Christ child, Who was lowly meek and mild, Helping others in need, Taking away our self and greed.... That IS the whole meaning of it. You have it perfectly. You must feel as I do about the "Season of Greed" as I call it. Presents are not important, as I already have more gifts than I am worthy to have. I love your poem, and may I keep a copy? Caroline the only man worth your tears will never make you cry |

I just adore your outlook on what has become the most materialistic holiday. Wish more folks could see it this way. But it's hard to reflect when your busy running over others at Wal-Mart. Duckysgirl |
