What can I say?
Its Christmas Day.
Kids are getting their wish
on a day they can’t miss.
We all know how life goes,
The snow is Knee-deep,
and schools are closed.
Snow plowing should be
left to the pros.
Blessed with a change
of luck today,
The homeless find
a warm place to stay.
People playing in the snow
having a good time.
Snows falling and
the weathers fine.
A Christmas party
on every block.
People pray, and are thankful
around the clock.
Restaurants are open and
Department Stores are closed.
As lovers pick their moment
to propose.
Everybody can see
the beautiful lights on
the Christmas tree.
Gift giving with love ones,
and shedding of tears.
As we share the memories
of loved ones, and have XMAS
without them this year.
Sharing our hopes for the new year.
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all…
A happy new year!!
Factions are girding their loins for war during this Season of Peace,
In what has become a clamorous and annual national bickering piece!
Do we say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" to those we meet?
Or do we observe the 'niceties of political correctness' and be discreet!
When the Walmart greeter says, "Happy Holidays", ain't no use to holler,
Or startle the poor old geezer and grab him by his jacket collar!
After all, he's probably been programmed and tutored in what to say!
Wish him a "Merry Christmas" if that be your bent and get on your way!
Even the booze and beer companies show proper discretion and respect,
And don't associate their products with the Season, showing disrespect.
'Twould be rather crass of them and most folks would deem taboo,
To advertise, "Celebrate Jesus' birth with an Old Milwaukee Brew!"
Nowadays, some folks deem Nativity Scenes passe and obscene,
Which in times of yore to the delight of all graced the village green.
'Tis sad that a display of an innocent Babe creates such division and hate.
After all, 'tis the birth of the Christ Child that most folks choose to celebrate!
'Twould be wonderful in this Season of love and doing good,
If all would shed their prejudices and foster brotherhood.
One might ponder this dilemma by asking, "What would Jesus say?"
I'll bet He'd say, "No matter who you are, Peace I leave with you this day!"

Richard:
Sometimes words speak louder than actions
Is it possible that this could be true?
Spoken hastily, without compassion
Have such words been spoken by you?
Eileen:
Such words have been spoken by me
making others dejected and blue
Words that have stole the sun from the skies
But they've never been spoken by you
Richard:
Words can also be very uplifting
Even if those gifted are just a few
Removing sadness, comforting hearts
Have such words been spoken to you?
Eileen:
Yes, such words have been spoken to me
They’ve refreshed my soul like the dew
My heart takes to wing and it flies
Because of words spoken by you.
Together:
And so our dear friends come and hear
This message, you know it's quite true
Words spoken, can heal or can harm
What words will be spoken by you?
A Richard Lamoureux and Eileen Manassian Collaboration
Thanks for accepting my invitation Eileen, you speak beautiful words!
Thanks also to the many lovely people here who have been a wonderful inspiration to me since I have joined Poetry Soup. Your words are meaningful and lasting.
Merry Christmas my friends, you are my Family of the Pen!
John F Kennedy said this about the people of East Berlin, "the people of East Berlin are voting with their feet." Hence the land of "eloquent silence." Where people were so afraid of being turned into the state police. They were afraid to speak their minds in a socialistic form of government. For the fear of being turned over for questioning and integration by the communist security police.
In spite of what happened during the Vietnam generation. And in spite of what has been happening in Hong Kong and in Valenzuela young American people are favoring a socialist government. They are censoring freedom of expression as hate speech. Which includes any person who disagrees with you. Yes, racist speech is hate speech! And so is censoring freedom of expression by the term political correctness! Political correctness violates free speech!
Remember the days when it was not politically correct in the United States of America to wish people a Merry Christmas? Cities and town were prohibited from Christmas decorations. Especially if they were religious in nature! They even wanted to ban people from displaying Christmas religious decorations on their lawns. People used terms such as happy holidays and season's greetings and they still do today. Which is fine by me!
When I was younger, Winter break was called Christmas Vacation. And spring break was called Easter Vacation. That changed even when I was enrolled in the public school system. I was either in high school or junior high. When it first took effect. Choirs and bands could not sing religious songs.
The ten commandment and religious monuments were being torn down
by people, who wanted freedom from religion. Cites such as Everett Washington had to fight to keep our ten commandments. By designating it as an historical landmark.
People have the basic right not to believe in God if they want to! That's what freedom of religion is all about. People have the right to believe in God if they want to. People have the right to disagree, and I would like to keep it that way!
Love in Christ Jesus!

Winter is a coming in upon this Christmastide
And snowflakes fall on field and fell across the countryside
To cover brown and green, they spread their one blanket of white
And here and there, a white bump hints at something out of sight
Does he know it's Christmas, that sheepie in the snow?
Most likely not; he knows it's cold with no warm place to go.
He's somewhere there below the white, with snow piled up around
Wondering where went the light, what happened to the sound?
There is no time to hesitate, leave rescue undelayed
Put on your boots and hasten out, armed with your trusty spade
To dig around that snowclad hump that hides the sheepie form
And take that festive sheep inside, somewhere that he'll be warm
So do not get a Christmas tree, they don't belong inside
Get, instead, a Christmas sheep to celebrate Yuletide
Decorate him if you wish; things suitable to chew
For a Merry Christmas spent in company of ewe
Twas the site before Christmas
and all through the place
All the poets were writing
happy thoughts to embrace
They sprinkled each stanza
with seasonal things
Like Santa Claus, candy canes,
five golden rings
All phrases were penned
with a holiday gleam
As sugarplums danced
in the midst of their dream
With Frosty the Snowman,
live wreaths on the door
Evergreens, Jingle bells,
presents galore
Tree trimming poems,
sleigh bells and joys
Fairly land winters
and elves making toys
A star in the sky
that three wise men did see
A babe in a manger,
the nativity
Hot cups of cocoa,
the garland is strung
Tinsel and ornaments,
stockings are hung
I read and I laughed
and I grinned ear to ear
Perusing their poems
of Christmastime cheer
When I thought of writing
out one of my own
Not a creature was stirring,
I sat all alone
I stared at the screen
wondering what I could say
To bring many smiles
on this wonderful day
But try as I might
my mind just couldn’t think
Of something for Christmas
to put down in ink
So I sprang from my chair
and I caused such a clatter
My neighbors called out
“Hey Chris, what’s the matter”
“It’s Christmas,” they shouted
as snow starts to fall
“A time to spread kindness
to one and to all”
When then, like a sled
moving quickly downhill
I got an idea
Of a way to fulfill
I ran to the keyboard
and started to tap
Before settling down
for a long winter’s nap
My fingers were nimble,
like reindeer they flew
To type out this message
so long overdue
For all of the poets
I’ve been lucky to meet
Who write so amazing,
leave comments so sweet
So here are the words
I decided to say
Merry Christmas dear Soupers
have a great holiday
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Soupers
I hope the holidays bring you much happiness and joy
and you are surrounded by love
I will be away for the holiday, so I will see you again next Monday

The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas that you celebrated on Earth.
You were a kind and loving mother for 41 and a half years after my birth.
When March the 6th arrived, you wouldn't have a tomorrow.
It took two years for me to get over the pain and sorrow.
I can't spend anymore Christmases with you, now I spend my Christmases alone.
You were a terrific woman and the best person who I've ever known.
March of 2013 was the worst month and year that I've ever experienced.
When you passed away, it hurt me terribly and I've missed you ever since.
But I feel much better now, time does heal a man's wounds.
Merry Christmas Mom, I'm sorry that you died too soon.
[Dedicated to Agnes Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013.]
Midnight Tonight
By Franklin Price
11/30/2016
Midnight tonight begins the month
That ends the current year
Santa Claus and elves are working
To bring us Christmas cheer
The tap,tap tap of hammers
Making wondrous toys of wood
To bring to all the boys and girls
Who spent the past year being good
Reindeer deep in training
For the yuletide job at hand
On Christmas eve to fly the sleigh
To each house throughout the land
Loaded with great gifts for all
When from the North Pole it departs
With Santa on his worldwide tour
A real rock star in our hearts
In the air the sounds of carols
Words and music for us all
The drummer boy is keeping time
The season's reason to recall
To celebrate the birth of Christ
In that stable long ago
A gift from God to save us
The best present that I know
As you wait this month for Santa
Fall to your knees and pray
Thank God for giving us his son
To celebrate on Christmas day
Author's note:
This poem is premature
Of that I'm well aware
Merry Christmas to all early
Must write the words when they are there.
The Daystar shines...
Gold for a King
Frankensence for a Priest
Myrrh for a Saviour.
The clouds gather...
Crown of thorns for a King
A seamless purple robe for a Priest
Sour vinegar on a stick for a suffering Saviour.
Then...
A throne for the King
Human temples for the Priest
Resurrection power for the Saviour
The Daystar shines in hearts...forever !.
Matthew 2:1 “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
2 Peter 19-20 We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard—God’s glory, God’s voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You’ll do well to keep focusing on it. It’s the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star (Daystar - KJV) in your hearts....
Merry Christmas & Happy Easter
'Twas the night before Christmas and outside blew a gale
Ol' Santa had a brainwave and on his sleigh rigged a sail
He was preparing for what lay ahead, an arduous task
Then waved goodbye to Mrs Claus and put on a face mask.
First he delivered to the all the cities then town after town
But cross winds were now blowing that slowed the sleigh down
He then put down on the highway to dismantle the sail
And the flapping of the sail fabric tickled Rudolphs tail.
Rudolph thought it was Santa and started moving away
But Santa was on the roadside minus his sleigh
The air turned quite blue, ( I wont repeat what he said )
Santa's face was the colour, like his suit a bright red.
He took out his cell phone and dialed nine one one
And told the bemused operator what had gone on
"My head reindeer Rudolph has made off with my sleigh
That's loaded with kids presents for Christmas day".
An all points bulletin was sent out for the runaway sleigh
Santa prayed that the traffic cops would save the day
Cops in choppers were scrambled and to save at any cost
The magic of christmas, that looked like 'twould be lost.
By now Rudolph was getting tired and stopped for a rest
Then the cops in choppers landed, to make an arrest
Rudolph pleaded his innocence and said he didn't know
Then looked behind him and said " where the hell did he go?".
It was all a misunderstanding and everything turned out okay
Sleigh and Santa were reunited and went off on their way
He cracked his whip then from a bottle took a large sup
Told Rudolph to get a move on as the kids would soon be up.
He delivered all the presents and now house lights were coming on
Santa was full of praise for Rudolph, for the hard work that he'd done
He made for home going by the airfield with five crates of elf beer
As a thank you to the chopper cops and to bring them some cheer.
Meanwhile at home Mrs Claus was preparing the turkey
She knew that when Santa got home he'd be tired and hungry
Santa phoned her on his cell phone , she answered "yes dear"
He said "Merry Christmas Mrs Claus and a happy new year".
