~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They arrive before dawn~
antlers strapped to stocking caps,
felt noses safety-pinned to fleece.
Downtown Dallas exhales frost
as hooves slap pavement~
a migration of office workers,
lawyers, bankers, teachers,
students, retirees~
all briefly ungulate,
pounding
the urban tundra
while above them,
skyscrapers
turn into frozen pines.
The Finish Line smells of gingerbread
and spilled energy drinks.
No one wins, but
everyone who gallops across
the Finish Line receives a red t-shirt
proclaiming:
I ran with the herd.
Great aunt Dorothy had a concrete donkey in her yard.
She had inherited it and the house from my grandparents.
This donkey had been in this yard since nineteen forty-one.
We kids always begged to decorate it for Halloween and Christmas.
Aunt Dorothy said this idea was despicable.
It would not be honorable.
The donkey would not like it.
She died three weeks ago.
Two days before Halloween, so we decorated the donkey.
He was now a purple peril, and I think he loved it.
After we left, he walked down to the graveyard to show her.
And there he sits, all pretty, next to her grave.
Christmas presents
happily tossed aside
Box is the treasure
Remember the days
**Oh, Christmas Tree**
Honor
His Birth
His Great Family
His Jewish Heritage
He, Born in a Manger
For Humanity, No Stranger
Hope

flocked tree
white in its color
golden-ruby ornaments
stands profoundly majestic

cookie cutter movies,
parading through holiday,
with a ho ho ho
and mistletoe,
angelic beings appear
mysteriously, giggling.
there’s magic globes
of Winter cheer, shaking
up the villagers, ski-slope
cascades of brunette and blonde hair,
billowing. and handsome men
falling for each one. North Pole
decor to the extreme - where else
would most of us peruse this feast?
so we compare to our own existence,
hollowed out with suffering persistence,
yet in a different way the hugs are huge
and ours — they belong to **our** hearts.

I
put up my
christmas tree
as early as can be
with a flick of a switch
strike awe without a glitch
stand uplifted at glitter lighting
it boosts my mood when I start sagging
it helps me get through dark dreary feelings
in early mornings and late evenings
warms
my heart

~Oh Christmas Tree~
(Tree of Life)
Oh
Wondrous
Christmas tree!
So full of light
Up there shining high.
Love watching you all time
Lighting up all the streets,rooms.
Happy faces glowing all around.
During Christmas season you bring cheer
Jesus is the reason for this season.
As we celebrate that Jesus Christ was born,
With pretty decorations and beautiful lights.
Oh Christmas tree,you are a lovely sight to behold
So beautiful
So colorful
Bringing smiles
With a bright star
Gladdening hearts
For the King came.

I
love
these trees
of Christmases
with bulbs of lights
so bright. Tinsel glitters
on each
branch sparkling
in the night. Presents soon
will find their way under the Christmas
tree. How much love there is that grows inside
of thee. The children soon will gather round to see
what Santa did bring,
And then we shall all hold
hands and of baby Jesus we will
sing. How I love this Christmas tree
that stands tall until the New Year arrives.
And then at that time we take her down and put
the bulbs
aside. Oh
I love my
tree of fir
and cones.
