To the Rooftops

If Christmas came several times a year I would surely be a very happy guy What a true treasure having family near If Christmas came several times a year I would enjoy the carols I love to hear My spirits to the rooftops would surely fly If Christmas came Several times a year I would truly be a very happy guy

Beautiful thoughts! We keep a little Charlie Brown tree up year round. Just a scraggly branch with a single ornament. Every time I look at it I am reminded of the meaning of Christmas and to keep the special feeling in my heart always.

I use to love that story when I was a kid. Simple reminders are important.

Everyone seems to smile a little easier when Christmastime comes around. It is the closest thing to peace on earth that we can experience... I really enjoyed this uplifting poem. The joy you've expressed here is contagious! Very nicely done, Rick!

If you read my comment to Paul it explains how sometimes this time of year doesn't always meet expectations.

Yes, I am. When I was younger it was not always such a great time of year. Family drinking had a way of spoiling the occasion. Fortunately my mom was not a drinker so there was at least one bright light. Thankfully now I can enjoy the true Spirit unobstructed by spirits!
