Christmas Come of Age

Not crossed off Santa's list yet, but, at my age, realistically my Christmas' on this earth left are few; feeling blessed, for having shared, so many of them joyfully with you – mostly all having bright white lights...just a few with centers sad partings tinted blue – The tree is up; lit, with angels and manger in their blessed places – awaiting all those celebratory faces; especially the little ones, Jesus has a special fondness, knowing each by our given name, loving each as much, but no two the same – by Father individually created – preferring evermore now prayer to lift, over any manufactured nor worldly gift – for no finer treasure given God's man than God's Son...the greatest lottery for us selflessly drawn and won!

Hello Joe ... sadly Christmas meaning is being stolen by commercial interests and somehow reeducated or reminded of the true meaning of Christmas - thank you Joe - Lindsay

For me, Christmas as all about Christ. It is about Baby Jesus bringing the Christ Spirit into humanity, to awaken and save the soul of Man. Lots of spiritual singing and praising. Praying for the healing and sustained health of humanity. That is our focus. Thank you, Lindsay. Have a Blessed Christmas.

I may not be on the list anymore, but that may be a good thing, depending on which list I was on. Enjoy your poem very much, especially the last 6 lines. Merry Christmas, Joe. A poet friend, Bill
