The Postman

He schleps constantly at noon
Through declivities and straight roads,
Bearing messages sealed by the hands
That laid them bare in the first place.
Sweat caresses his face, forming one mass of
Earnestness in every breath of delivery.
“Hello,” he says, “your mail. Your package.”
My palm breathes harder, having neared his.
I sign the delivery paper and reach out for the
Package.
He is fussy with time and gets rewarded when
The Christmas bells chime slowly
From wintry belfries posting blandishments of
Yuletide.

Merry Christmas!

A bright coin rolls into his palms and greases them.

He welcomes titbits of news within crimson cards.
His lungs inhale airs of chaperoned champagnes
Amid the voice of canticles, soft and secret.


Premium MemberT'was the Night Before Christmas- Not for Contest

Everything was ready for Christmas Day.
New toys were wrapped for the children to play.
We had all decorated the Christmas Tree.
Gifts in pretty paper were placed carefully.
The stockings were hung.
We had rehearsed carols to be sung.
We were all snug in bed.
The children wishing it was morning instead.
When suddenly Father ran out in the snow.
For what, we could not guess and did not know.
He brought in a plant and hung it over the door.
Soon he was back in bed and had started to snore.
What did he get that was missing?
Big brother said Father must have been dreaming of kissing.
Ah now we all know,
It was mistletoe.
Merry Christmas to all- We are having a good night.

Christmas Poem
Jingle bells 
The doorbell rings 
Granny and grandpa
With Present for all
Jack screams then
runs down the hall

Jingle bells 
Dinner ready 
Granny yells 
Eat till you can't 
The wrapping paper is ripping 
The people are thanking

Splash in the pool 
Trying to beat my cousin 
Cause he thinks he's so cool
Mum and aunt lyla 
Bragg about us kids 
A secret competition
My dad still doing business stuff
My dogs trying catch the fluff

My uncles just ate dinner 
But i watch as they let the sausages simmer
My sister aria mashed potatoes
I shoo the fly
As we say our goodbyes
My uncle yells
Merry christmas to all and to all a good night

Premium MemberChristmas Tree


*
I
am
a green
Christmas
tree aglow blinking in the
darkest night
decorated with lights and ribbons
angelic star at the top
and gifts at the base.
I see smile on each and every face
in the happy season of love
when the light of hope shines
bright and spreads the festive magic in the cold air
as the wafting snowflakes weave motifs outside
the joy of warmth from inside of me I share
with you
so deeply
immersed
delighted
in merry
  Xmas time

A Poinsettia

A poinsettia. 
Doesn’t do much.
But when you look at one-
It seems to make a merry jingling sound. 
The doorbell rings. 
And there are more guests. 
Who notice the Christmas tree. 
The poinsettia sits by the heating vent. 
The leaves are blowing gently. 
No one notices. 
This humble decorative plant. 
The poinsettia will never grow very tall. 
It is an indoor plant. 
It likes to be,
Around the festivities. 
In the warmth. 
But not the center of attention. 
There is not much more it needs. 
A poinsettia. 
Doesn’t do much. 
But knows how to live-
A warm and comfortable life.


MERRY CHRISTMAS

Complement of the season
Christ the reason
Love the rhythm of the season
Songs of ecstacy
As we all sing joyfully aloud
Feliz navidad
A song we all like dancing to.

Alot of merriment 
Enough to eat and drink 
As we party hard
Smile on everyone's faces 
As we converse within us
Things that merry the heart.

Jubilations
Not tribulations 
Contribution to each other's joy
Not contradicting the story
As we share our testimonies 
It was a showering of unconditional love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

24.12.2024
It would have been our first Christmas and New Year.
When we could enjoy the silent night and fire work together,
It would also mark our one year of friendship.
A simple, pure and full of fun relationship.
That was how I wished,
But it was not what you wanted.
So, you had to call it a quit, 
Without doing any possible bit.
Simply, you just alienated me,
Ceased all contact in person and via messages.
Please do not push me any further,
I worked well under pressure.
I have already done some arts involving you,
The works seemed amazing to many,
Somehow, you would not agree.
That was how typical you were.

Rudolph's Leg is Broke

santa’s in a fix rudolph’s leg is snapped
tripped on a candy cane now the poor guy’s trapped
mrs claus is fuming elves are losing their cool
one slipped on tinsel and fell in the gift pool

how will they deliver the toys in the night
without rudolph’s bright nose guiding their flight
but then an elf shouts hey we’ve got a plan
we’ll strap some flashlights to dasher and stan

the sleigh takes off wobbling like a kite
with duct tape holding things way too tight
but somehow they manage gifts tossed left and right
merry christmas to all from this chaotic flight

Happy Merry Christmas!

All day is snowing,
Santa is coming,
What a good winter season.
Parents are merriness,
Babies are in happiness,
They jumps to the sky any reason.
Happy Merry Christmas!

Father coming from shifts,
Brought a lot of gifts,
A big holiday in Your house.
The brother is happy,
The sister is happy,
Your Mom is happy twice.
Happy Merry Christmas!

When the sky is bright blue,
The dreams are coming true,
Let there be peace on the land!
Let's singing and dance,
In a year just one chance,
Merry Christmas is our brand.
Happy Merry Christmas!

Premium MemberHOLIDAY FUN

Vacation amidst fun-filled holiday
Triumphantly spent along wondrous way
As Christmas friends bonded well 
Marked with their fellowship yell:
“Rudolph, Frosty, Elf---for helping we stay!”

In their blest glow, together, gifts they share
Vibrantly exuding their gracious flair
Extending kindness with bliss
From their merry hearts’ abyss
Shouting: “Rudolph, Frosty, Elf brings God's care*!”

Singing their New Year jingles with delight
They inspire others against gloomy blight
Cheering to smite doubt and pout
Praying that in reaching-out
“We --- Rudolph, Frosty, Elf --- face freedom-flight.”

*Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Premium MemberThe Children Are Coming

An eastern icicle seems to impose
as it's dripping down a church tower bell.
Bitter cold made bell and ice juxtapose,
as frost took its toll, now no one can tell.
No galloping horse and no rebel cry
amidst drifting snows now resting calmly.
Yet not quite so, with kid's natural high,
cast snowballs up, with their spirits jolly.
A target shred reveals a silver bell.
Gone are their folly, just eyes frozen stare.
The front doors open. A priest says, Noel,
to all of the kids who were gathered there.
Merry Christmas all, have fun while you play.
I'll see you at mass for Jesus' birthday.

Piña empanadas and gifts of filigree 
Children’s faces aglow

Premium MemberTRADITIONS CHANGE AGAIN

I took our annual Christmas family portrait yesterday…
as usual it was a time of jubilation…
and once again I noticed we’re a family
in a state of transformation.

We’ve all grown another year older
but it really is much more…
for none of us are the exact same person 
we were the year before…

School and jobs and life in general
alter us a little every day….
This portrait shows us face-timing
with the three of our family members who’ve moved away.

We couldn’t all get together this Christmas
which is why we had to Zoom…
but their laughter and their love…even in two dimensions
found their way into the room .

As our family has grown and changed…as all families do
the traditions we make along the way…must change a little too.

As we find new ways to get together…before we know it…lo and behold
new traditions like phoenixes….emerge from out the old.

As I looked at my family through the camera
as they all came into view…
I realized what’s important isn’t how we get together…
what’s important…is that we do.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
