Christmas card relatives
un-seen
un-thought-of
almost never-heard-from
except at Christmas time
I smile as the cards come in
Remembering some
but not all...

If I don't get my Wall, I'll bawl
If I don't get my Wall, you'll crawl!
Twelve billion for me
Friends need at least three
You know Donald Trump don't build small!...

some or here
some or over there
 we showed care

 fine minded
for those who were kind
and not odd
and hard
give them
A AND

We had not received Christmas cards,
We children in our home courtyards; 
Displayed cards of grandpa,
Age-old cards of grandma;
Friends said: it's a house of regards...!

will have to confess
christmas card sent to wrong place
must be a big mess


card to sister sent,
to say Merry Christmas meant;
we all all must repent

we were over wrought
so sad when deer had been shot
farm poor dear had bought...

Got a Christmas card, “To the one I love”
My eyes lit up bright as the stars above
On the back, what hurt me
“Four for the price of three”
Told him where to shove his love and BOGOF.

Celebrate Christmas Day
In stable - manger Christ lay
Brightest star shone way

Nativity gels 
tinsel glitter baubles bells
Notes of pine tree smells

Bend fold crease cut glue
made with love from me to you
clock ticks... finished... phew!...

Farmer Zeb and his wife Henrietta were in love with their cows.
Put them into their Christmas card photo with their happy bull Sows.
Sows was something else, all puffed up, arrogant, haughty and stuff.
In every selfie that bovine was doing something randy and rough....

With all my hopes
In each dear way
Make yours one
Wondrous holiday

Thus put to verse
In word and rhyme
The best of blessed

Strange , be it Christmas so
No picture card snow
Reindeer, not here
Elves and sleigh
No way
There are drunks and drugs
Fighting thugs
Try as hard
Not the qualities required for a Christmas card
Happy Christmas to all and dear
My resolution, to be a bit more realistic and throw away rose coloured spectacles
In the new year...

The rain seems more angry today
A cold stinging slap in the face
A wake-up call perhaps

It will soon cling
Icily sharp
On the edges
Of a colder wind

Glistening branches
Tinkling
In Christmas card glitter
Shiver

As we wait
For the frightening
Flicker of the lights

And

A cold darkness.

I felt it in the warm touch of the one I love;
she danced to the tunes of "Jingle Bells",
as her dress circled in the air. She looked
like a Christmas tree in her flower dress,
and the happiness that was glowing in her.
As a child eagerly finds a branch to add 
a Christmas card, I placed my palm 
on her chest, to listen to what her heart
was telling my heart, 
in the Christmas night.......

Waking, unto another day her forecast, sunny as bright perhaps, some rain....
Tomorrow they say but, be it more wishful their words these, waterless clouds ?
Surrounded by tiny stuffed animals; adament objects this brass unicorn; bleeding 
A bit in green; his and her precious Angels ? Chestnut ponies, love's, little red heart
Solitary's Christmas card yesterdays, make-shift altar pure things, while voices disappear....

As if a blanket be specially placed
Upon the land so humbly graced.
A white so pure, so fresh, sublime,
A blessing, surely divine.

Steeples covered, as Christmas card,
Litter the landscape of England proud,
Tools down, the children play,
Simple pleasures embrace the day.

Sunshine glistens on twinkling ground,
Mesmerising magic all around,
This beauty which fulfils the soul
Is exquisitely a fresh snow fall....

A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth
Or it seems to on this beautiful Christmas card
Announcing the miracle of sweet Jesus’s birth
A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth
The manger scene, an unlikely common berth,
A story told time and again by the poet bard
A pale blue haze hangs heavily over the earth
Or it seems to on this beautiful Christmas card.

Robin red breast in the snow
On a faded worn out picture
Memories of a Christmas long ago
When I with my new set of paints
Was destined to paint myself to fame
Another stick figure family portrait
Or maybe this time a train. 

Who were you when only six
Daddy's little daughter
Climbing into his lap for warmth
Were you conscious then that after
Sometime later in your life
You would hold my head against your breast
To share your loving heart....

He's a real cool dude, he's quite amazing
Whenever he's around my heart is racing 

He's a loyal friend and he never gets dissed 
I'll never take him off my Christmas card list

A caring guy, you can't ask for more
If you need any help he'll be there for sure 

Hes a special person, but he dont know it
Got a sensitive side but he'll never show it

I always feel good when he makes me smile 
With him the sadness disappears for a while....

Silently falls the snow,
Covering the streets and houses,
A snowman sits in yonder meadow,
Gazing out at the pedestrians,
Walking by, dressed in their winter wear,
The houses are touched with snow,
A winter's delight,
I like to stay at home and look at the snow,
Through my window,
Like a Christmas card.
The skiiers love this weather,
Dressed in their winter wear,
Like a winter paradise,
Blessed by God.

When two are gathered
in His name
Christ is present 
so we came.
When home teachers
enter your home,
Neither you or they 
are all alone.
This small token 
given today 
is our Christmas gift
to invite Him to stay.
It's monitarily small
but the message is huge.
Share His love.
Don't be a Scrooge!

Let's keep Christmas forever 
in our hearts,
A $2.00 bill ncluded with a Christmas card.
Dedicated to believers everywhere.  Merry Christmas!...
