Christmas unfolds all wrapped up memories Along with wrapped gifts, bells, and jingles… Treasure of family and friends in old oak cabin …laughter and love surround! Memories return tiptoeing when alone, Recollections of joyful moments abound! Children waiting anxiously for opening their favourite gifts, Flavourful aroma of baking, wafting from the kitchen, Stockings hanging with delightful suspenses, Being cozy beside the warmth of fire-place, Immense joy and happiness shared around! Watch incandescent  luminous snowflakes evergreens are embellished with silver ornaments, The moonlit night is serene, misty, and beautiful, Do I see the Star of Bethlehem- brightest star in the east! A baby was born in a manger on this day, Wise men found him - knew our saviour had arrived ! Christmas is loving and giving, A night of prayers and quiet celebration, Pray for the world…happiness close and far, No touch of gloom and sadness on this day, No one should be starving, or shivering in cold! No one should feel alone! A thoughtful, serene night embodying grace and harmony  - My Tree is dazzling with tokens of memories!

Dear Krish, truly appreciate your thoughtful words! Feel so honoured with your comments. Hope you will be enjoying a great holiday too. I enjoy nature very much, and being in Mexico, feels like a wonderful reward. I can spend all day watching ocean waves lapping on the beach! Best wishes, always.

Dear poetess, my heart is warmed with honeyed glow as your words are shining like the most soothing sunshine amidst the frosty waves. The way you've described those nostalgic reveries associated with the Christmas aura and expressed how it's the occasion of togetherness for humanity with so many sweet lines... Ahh, this is just beautiful! Heartiest congratulations to you on the first-place win, so well deserved~ "Memories return tiptoeing when alone" Wowww :)

My Dear Poetess, Hiya, your name itself brings such touching emotions (In my language, "Hiya" means "Heart", and we have beautiful songs with this word). Your poems are exquisite creations - I sincerely mean it - I read the "The Last Organ-grinder" poem a couple of times - the flow and rhythm of the poem unparalleled! Thank you for visiting my poems, I really feel honoured! Love and Hugs ~

Dear Sara, I feel over the moon every time I see your thoughtful and inspiring comment. Your kindness, your encouraging words are true blessings in my journey. Christmas always brings lots of emotions, memories and recollections - I am sure same happens to you! Poetry is my way of recollecting, touching, healing process. So fortunate I never feel lonely now, I am blessed to have my poet-friends. Merry Christmas to you and Bill, and all of your loved ones. Love and blessings, Dearest Poetess ~

Yes, Tom, you are right. Same happens to me too - miss parents, loved ones who are not with us any more. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.
