A Christmas Reverie

In Christmas's glow, where dreams and joy entwine, A tale unfolds, of Christ's birth divine. In Bethlehem's cradle, a babe so mild, The Savior, Messiah, the Holy Child. Santa, my father, in folklore's embrace, Brings gifts and wonder to each eager face. Yet deeper, reality's truth is spun, For love and giving, beneath the sun. Hand in hand, a nation in delight, Rejoicing in the Christ, the guiding light. The togetherness, a sincere embrace, As hearts unite, and time begins to race. The epic tale, in pages old and true, A metaphor for grace, a love anew. Hyperbolic dreams in children's eyes, As Santa's sleigh across the starry skies. In slumber's grip, anticipation weaves, As visions of presents, like golden sheaves. Sincerity wrapped in ribbons tight, A Christmas sonnet in the silent night.
