I Want a Christmas Every Day

I want a Christmas every day Not a Santa Claus in his sleigh, Or bringing presents to the good Loving each other, as we should. Peace on earth, a small price to pay I want a Christmas every day, Filled with happiness and good cheer Not the end, beginning each year. Setting aside all hatefulness Every day free of undue stress, I want a Christmas every day Watching our children carefree play. The spirit of love in the air Visions of our lives without care, Keeping all prejudice at bay I want a Christmas every day.

I love these lines in your poem: "Setting aside all hatefulness" What a wonderful and timely line. "Loving each other as we should" I agree. "The spirit of love in the air" It is a magical time.

"The spirit of love in the air" - it is sad that some people are only doing this on Christmas and Easter.

Indeed, it is. People can be so nice during the holiday seasons, but revert to their old selves after it's over. What a pity!

That would be the best present world wide.

Truly, Shirley. A sleigh full of peace, joy, and love (not necessarily in that order)!

Strange how many are nice folk over Christmas and come the new year back to their old ways. Tom

I’d certainly run out of ideas for Santa stories, Milt, but the sentiment is sound. A commendable list of desires nicely moulded into poetic form. Terry
