It's Christmas again When colorful lights switched on and the house smells of good memories Glittering gifts under the Christmas tree The family is gathered around the dinner table and enjoying each other's company Smiles, laughs, eats and drinks well ..."O Holy Night" Take an important choice let the children have a happy Christmas Many children have painful and difficult experiences with adult use of alcohol during Christmas Christmas is a time for great memories with family and friends The sound of the church bells, we gather for peace and joy ... "Jingle Bell Rock" But not everyone has such a Christmas For many, this time may feel depressing It's not everyone who believes in "Happy Christmas" Some ray of happiness and others cry An Christmas Eve without the magic light ... "Blue Christmas" In December the darkness comes closer and closer Light is stronger than the dark and we shall be together in love Virgin Mary's birth: "A child is born in Bethlehem" Everything built on the Christmas gospel, one of the world's most popular stories ... "Mary’s Boy Child" 07.12.2017 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

A very beautiful written poem, I really enjoyed reading it, yeah it s truth that although Christmas is an event of celebration but not everyone can celebrate it, lack of resources, lack of happiness, etc, good luck for your Christmas, I hope you enjoy it and yeah nowhere it s written that Jesus christ was born on 25 December, it is assumed to be 25, it s not clear when he was born so people start to celebrate it on 25 December

- Yes, it is unclear from ancient writing when Jesus was born - I personally do not think he was born in December - Many thanks for your visit and lovely comment, Faraz :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Meaningful, sobering yet suffused with warmth. Nicely balanced between sweet holiday sentiments and some less-than-rosy aspects of reality. Love it!

My heart goes out to the ones who go through a sad and lonely time at Christmas, a time for Peace and Goodwill, which so many overlook. Commercialism rules at this time and its so easy to get caught up with the hype going around, causing envy and discontent among us, especially the young. Why? is all I can ask....Maria
