Why Is It Christmas

Mention trains and candy canes lighted trees and paper chains… be sure to tell the story right Jesus' birthday on Christmas night. Debate about where and when were there truly three wise men? Explain the who, the what, the way they brought Him gifts a later day. Reindeer reins, celebrations, Santa's sleigh, decorations make clear this winter holiday traditions bound by disarray. God so loved this restless world. He sent his Son to herald redemption, God's gift from the start eternal change of hardened heart. Jesus Christ, God sent to save redeem mankind from the grave. The "why" of Christmas, sing it well God lives with us: Immanuel. November 20, 2021 contest: November or December Quatrain Poetry hostess: Caren Krutsinger

Oh, my goodness! Wow! Every bit of this was a delight. I smiled at the 2nd stanza because I grew up in church and we always had that discussion. And I got a lump in my throat at the closing stanza. WELL DONE <3 FAVE
