Christmas Beauty

All is beautiful on this Christmas Eve night in my neighborhood
Bright colored lights are flickering on many a lovely home
Charming and enchanting- it seems a fairyland to me
Delicate, fragile snowflakes are falling as I hesitate here and there
Engrossed in the beauty, the snow caresses my hair from above
Feeling a glow growing within me, I ponder the meaning of Christmas
Good thoughts are flowing within and I imagine a baby born, a saviour
Heavenly visions of sweet Jesus in a stable lit by a guiding star
Inner peace, I embrace as I walk the quiet snowy streets
Joy and happiness beyond the doors of these dwellings I pass by, and
Kindness abounds at this time of year, I wish that could last all year
Love is what I remember at Christmastime . . . 
Magically, the memories come drifting and I find myself weeping
Nirvana is where my family dwells, waiting for me to come one day
Open-hearted, I share my sorrow, it drips from my pen
Peaceful, oh so peaceful is my wintery world this December night
Quietness so deep, I can hear the snow falling on the bare tree branches
Respect, I have for nature that can change from beautiful to dangerous
Serene lovely scenes quickly become places forbidden
Tranquil snow has turned into a blizzard with wild wind
Utterly amazed I stand in the storm swirling wondering which way to go
Vibrant the lights that still glow on the snow draped dwellings
Wonderful they seem to be guiding my way home
Xerox copies of Christmas songs twirl past and I try to grasp them
Yes, there is my home, all lit up and welcoming me back
Zestfully I run up the path to my door, thankful for the fireplace within

Anisha Dutta December 20, 2025 at 8:09 AM Enjoyed every line of your poem. Me and all my siblings are seniors citizens, staying in different cities, but not that far from one another We have Christmas Celebrations together every year with zest and zeal , exchanging gifts and playing games. Christmas tree in full decoration . Santa Claus is also present. Our children and Grand children try best to join. But that’s not possible every year. On the whole Christmas Celebration is vey Important to us. Wishing you a Happy Christmas.

Valsa George December 20, 2025 at 12:44 AM The sweet December night can become fierce as blizzards sweep by. I feel sad that during Christmas, your thoughts turn painful when you think of the dear ones who have departed. When festive season comes, we think more of them. My thoughts too run back to my younger days when I had all my three sisters to celebrate Christmas together. Now two of them have left. A beautiful poem with a sad tone. Constance La France December 20, 2025 at 1:05 AM Valsa, thank you for the lovely comment, and compliment, and although I do love Christmas, it brings me like many others a great sadness ~
