Written to the tune of "Jingle Bells"
Here in Florida,
We don't get any snow,
We don't have sleighs to ride,
But we do have mistletoe!
For a little Christmas jaunt,
We'll drive 'round after dark,
To view the Christmas-lighted homes,
And displays at the park.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
He! He! He!
Christmas time is here.
Let's deck the halls and shop the malls,
To spread some Christmas cheer!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
He! He! He!
Christmas time is here.
Let's deck the halls and shop the malls,
To spread some Christmas cheer!
Driving through the rain,
In a souped up Cheverolet,
Traffic's moving slow,
But hey, that's A-okay.
Christmas carols blare,
From the Chevy's radio,
We're having fun singing along,
Making words up as we go!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
He! He! He!
Christmas time is here.
Let's deck the halls and shop the malls,
To spread some Christmas cheer!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
He! He! He!
Christmas time is here.
Let's deck the halls and shop the malls,
To spread some Christmas cheer!

quatrains
My mom and dad loved one another
They said their “ I do’s” in ’37
then birthed two girls with their big brother
by their tenth Christmas in ’47.
Jovial times for the five of us
Three well-mannered kids, gifts from heaven
We had our holly Jolly Christmas
before Burl Ives in ’57.
Ten more years added two grandkids quick
when brother wed his sweetheart and friend.
Kids wait once more for Jolly St. Nick
Toys ‘neath the tree in ’67.
When next the decade finds me checking
I’m a wife, mother and aunt again.
This season three extras come decking
the Jolly halls in ’77.
We add a son. My oldest niece weds.
Her brother weds too, a Korean.
Fourth generation – two “great” girl kids
make Christmas rock in ’87.
Death takes its toll, both parents succumb.
Divorce claims two, four go to heaven.
New mates are found and babies still come
Four 'Jollys' had left us by 97.
No more gatherings of Jolly’s in sync
Nuptials and newborns increase our kin.
Breakups/adoptions buckle the links
that knot our gang, Christmas ’07
Moving ahead - ten more years outlined
Lots of fresh faces, some never seen
Thank God, for Facebook, pictures I find
Young Jolly green giants in ‘17.
Six more years pass changing the Jolly Tree
We see adoptions, babies, new mate, death.
Count: forty-six folks in year ’23.
In six generations, only two 'Jollys' left.
*My maiden name is Jolly which adds a lot of fun and joking especially at Christmas time.
Crystalline sparkling day, translucent night sky,
the harbinger of cheer-laced Christmas time
we celebrated drinking the dregs of cupful joy of heart,
sharing with our long-time neighbor
since when I didn’t remember,
but the luminous smile of their little daughter,
dancing around the glittering Christmas tree,
I didn't forget and waited the whole year to see.
Christmas came that year on the frozen wings
of the melancholic winds of whispering despair,
blew all the candles out, the light disappeared,
searching for the smile on the face of the girl,
gone away somewhere else unreachable
to dance and smile in white Christmas splendor.
My heart mourned the void that engulfed
the dark Christmas night falling on my neighbor.

Christmas Poems
Sponsor : Dear Heart-Wiishkobi Ode
Trying hard to keep my spirits up
It's that Christmas time of the year
When one's reminded of Christmas's past
The joy and overflowing good cheer
When friends and family all lived close by
And the love literally flowed unabated
Visits to each other's homes were common
Those feelings can't be imitated
Now friends and family are scattered wide
Modern day caused this sad revelation
Even with Skype and instant messaging
I feel much more in isolation
Friendly kisses and touches are missing
Tender words of love and friendship
Instead this unfeeling computerized way
Just adds to all of life's hardships
Trying hard to keep my spirits up
It's that Christmas time of the year
When one's reminded of Christmas's past
The joy and overflowing good cheer

Are you paying attention
Can you hear it now
It's coming very close
Yes it's Christmas time again
Oh tell me you feel it
Is your heart beat with excitement now
Are you wondering if you're naughty or nice
Set free of negative thoughts, feel the magic
Holy night
Born is the king
Our savior
Jesus Christ
Listen to His voice
Look out for His signs
Feel Him in your heart
Let Him be your all wants and needs
He need you to be ready
Welcome Him into your heart
Be content for what's you have
But most of all, be happy
Peace
Joy
Love
Merry Christmas to one and all
Smile

~A Christmas Song~
(Free Verse)
Christmas is the time of the year
To spread all these cheers and rejoice
To heal a lot of our spiritual wounds
And to bring a lot of love in the homes
Christmas is the time of the year
To be in everything a good sports
Not just to think of presents and toys
But to spread lots of good will and peace on Earth
Christmas is the time of the year
Not just to think of green money
And all your credit cards how to spend
Or how many things you are lucky to get
Christmas is the time of the year
To give to the ones that got nothing
Not even a nice place for the night
And for the ones abused day and nigh
Christmas is the time of the year
To put God our Creator first
And not just that nice, and jolly made up Santa Claus
But Jesus our Savior that came and was born on this day
Christmas is the time of the year
To think of all the big and the small
And all the homeless that got nothing to eat
And also all the children that suffer on earth
So let's go and spread all this love, peace and joy
Not only for the Holidays or Christmas day
But for every single day of the year
And let's not forget the unfortunate, and sick
For Christmas time is for them too.

“The only blind person at Christmas time is he who has not Christmas in his heart.” – Helen Keller
On that long ago night,
Beyond the hills – burning bright,
Born to save us from our sin,
Bring assurance and peace within…
Jesus Christ, the joy and love
God Almighty sent from heaven above,
With grace that would surely prove…,
Choosing love, meant God’s on the move…
On that night, when He was born,
The darkest devils would surely mourn,
Because, with Him, there would be hope,
The promise of life so we might cope…
Jesus Christ, born to save souls,
His spirit come down, His grace consoles,
The gift of a love so amazing…
We just knew, we’d forever be praising….
On that long ago night,
While Mary labored with all her might,
There came One who would change creation,
With His grace and love, He brings souls elation!
Jesus is the answer for all of mankind,
When He came down, to all who were blind,
He opened our eyes, with faith – we believe…
Love came to save us on that first Christmas Eve!
My sweet beloved,
Loving you has been my most precious gift
and valued endeavor.
I was such a lonely soul until a chance meeting
with you.
My darling you swept into my life unexpectedly.
Our courtship was quick and we wed two months
after we met.
I loved every moment and second with you.
We struggled to have a family and we thought
we would never have one.
Last year during Christmas time we found out
we were with child.
It was the happiest time in our lives, it was up
there with finding each other.
But our happiness soon turned to sadness,
we had complications with the pregnancy.
I was very sick and put on bed rest, we agreed
early on that we would do everything in our power
to have our precious baby girl.
She was a miracle and deserved a chance at life.
If you are reading this it means I didn't to make it.
We knew that I probably wouldn't survive childbirth.
Love our sweet baby girl and allow yourself to love
again my darling.
With all my love,
- Your one and only

To all who see the good in me
And praise what's lovely, sweet and fair
To all who will not see the thorns
But nourish me with love and care
To dear ones who have loved my rhymes
Who with their words have spread the cheer
To all those who have seen and loved
This poetess consumed by fear
To all those who have cared to write
About me in their poetry
Who’ve dedicated words to me
And filled my heart with ecstasy
To all those whom my heart holds dear
Who are my sweet and precious friends
I send this message out to you:
I hope our friendship never ends
This Christmas time I thank my Lord
That in my world you play a part
You bring me sunshine after rain
With joy you help my day to start
You must know this and thus be sure
Each one of you, I do adore
My life would not as wholesome feel
Had you not touched its very core
You move me and you make me see
A wonder that's beyond compare
What would I do without your gifts?
I’d surely sink in deep despair
Each one of you, a sparkling light
Upon my heart’s dear Christmas tree
You light my days and shine at night
By giving of yourself to me
And so, tonight my gifts to you
Are simple lines wrapped in my love
A very Merry Christmas, all
I plead from heaven up above
Healing and health and happiness
And wishes that your dreams come true
This place to me, my second home
And it’s because of folks like you.
Eileen Manassian
To all my PS friends who are dear and precious to my heart. I wish you an amazing Christmas.
In a beautiful land far across the ocean,
People used to celebrate Christmas all year round,
Trees along the streets adorned with flickering lights;
Down the cities were malls seethed with shoppers…
All in frantic, but no harm in their enjoyment of time.
Grandiose buildings and churches,
Stood magnificently as the music of the season played;
Lanterns were hanging on walls as church bells ring,
Announcing the season of birth of Christ the King.
A dazzling panorama of the whole place,
With the nearby sea on its serenity and calmness;
The aromatic freshness and coldness of yuletide’s zephyr,
Giving resplendent smiles- rhythm of iridescent glow in ones’ eyes.
As people enjoyed from morning to Christmas eve
Children’s laughter exuded with the gifts they received
They sang joyfully with thanksgiving on caroling
A herald on the season of love in a spirit of giving.
Time came in the beautiful land far across the ocean,
When people didn’t have any single clue of the dangers to come,
A week before the season with no ominous sign,
Trees on streets were washed out in an instant;
A gigantic catastrophe passed by engulfing everyone
Mangled and jostled into darkness where they’re hard to be found,
At snap of fingers… is there another joyful Christmas time?
Grandiose building and churches,
Turned out into a mass grave with flickering candles;
Flowers were scattered where each body laid,
Mourning of their fate…a rescue they begged
All praying for mercy of Christ our only Savior and King.
At vantage point was a horrible scene of a ghost town,
Where green trees and buildings seemed thrown in garbage cans
Marred souls were wafted in stale air…
Starvation and unseen love ones, they grieved.
Just in time came in a devastated land across the ocean,
A miracle happened in His Love Divine
Sympathy and passion reigned in the heart and mind of all men;
People around the world joined hand-in-hand and rebuilt ‘tis land,
The most perfect Christmas gift which arrived on time.
