Christmas Sight

Christmas seems to be lost in a commercial haze, and hearts freeze over any retail deal. Human kindness ebbs in greed's burning fire, while good will toward people seems less real. Whatever happened to the true Christmas spirit and why has greed's spell taken hold of human hearts? The holiday season seems less merry now, as the gift of brotherly love is run over by millions of shopping carts. Has the heavenly light of Christmas love been lost to the darkness of commercial gifts? Souls seem to latch on to these material things, ignoring the wounds made from these man made drifts. Has the holiday season lost the Christmas glow that once flourished in love's golden night. The mad rush that Christmas now brings, tells me that human kind has lost its Christmas sight.
