Bad gifts
Cause rifts

Be rash
Spend cash

Debit
Credit

Worthwhile
Their smile

I would like to give you
all my love as a Christmas present
but I think  
I couldn't wrap it well enough
as I have never learnt 
how to wrap a quality parcel...

 A precious gift appeared on my doorstep, it is one that I adore
My son has come home for Christmas – I can’t wish for anything more!

My favorite Christmas present
a bunch of lilies white as a milky crescent
by street children who reside in the slums
came to meet me to offer them some alms

I saw almighty residing in their eyes
a gleam of joy enshrined in my heart in arise...

I stroll through the pine forest —
an early Christmas present.
Holly berries still green
I pause and take pictures
As a bee keeps eyes on me.
The possible chill
Releases the humidity —
Imagine this:

I will take the slight dip
In my garden’s luminosity.

I have the belief that I will be out by Christmas. 

A belief that stills my suffering. 

A hollow wind speaks to me. 

Slipping in through an open door. 

That shuts before I can stare into the free world. 

Someday soon- 

I will be pushed out those doors.

Into the cold. 

Leaving behind uncertainty....

i'm a Christmas present
 i'm as cute as i can be
 but there's a better gift 
 i know you'll all agree 
 the gift of cores is Jesus 
 he is the best gift of all.    
                                        












                                                                 by julicia thompson...

Presents opened by the hearth,
Gifts of goodness from the heart.

Christmas snow is falling down,
A fresh white blanket for the town.

Little eyes are opened wide,
Snowmen and angels dance inside.

A pure "White Christmas"  for us all.
Warm inside, we watch it fall.

Happy as our hearts are lifted,
A Christmas present God has gifted!...

Growing up my life was hard
No Christmas present no birthday card.

Daily beating with belt and stick
Made to work even when I was sick.

Dreams of happiness dreams of joy
Dreams of being a normal boy.

Not being loved just feeling the hate
Waiting to grow up I just couldn't wait.

So in time away I ran
I grew up fast to become a man....

Five TV sets each showing a different show
All mounted on the same wall
My eyes dart from one to another

This was my husband’s terrific Christmas present one year
He says it Is the best present he ever received
He is sleeping next to me

My eyes are struggling to keep up
I am beginning to understand
Why he is so tired and has constant eye strain...

Such a lovely present.
Walks, talks, quite cute.
Spent an innocent hour with me.
Talking, as I gave a world class
back massage,
So sweet to touch a woman's body,
Though not in any disrespectful way,
Pure innocence,
I enjoyed giving the massage,
I enjoyed the intelligent talk,
A lovely hour passed'
With a lovely, sweet young lady.
Merry Christmas, Tom!...

Tinsel on the floor. 
Just got home from the store. 
Ornaments thrown about.
The cat... That I can't live without. 

He lay asleep under the tree.
The only problem 
The tree is on the floor
 In front of me. 

Colorful presents lay torn all around
Not an untouched thing to be found.
My blob of fur purring in front of me.
T'was the end of my Christmas tree....

This was Elise’s first wrapping job.
She did not want to hurry.
This was for her grandma.
One of her favorite people.

Daddy asked, “are we almost finished here?”
“She’s doing a great job,” Mommy said.
Daddy sat down to watch, enthralled.
He had never wrapped a Christmas present.

Maybe one day you can teach me, he said.
His daughter thought that he was kidding.
He could not have been more serious....

You thought I was all raw, naked and vulnerable,
when you tore me apart,
like a child eagerly tearing up a gift wrapper
on a Christmas present.
I'm not a gift that you can sink your hands in,
and take every bit of me!
I'm an onion....yes, an eternal onion! Forever you'll
remove every layer of me, only to surprise
you with another layer; harder and more
painful for you to see!

You are not defined by the ghosts of Christmas past, or by the ghosts of Christmas future, but by the magical reality that we can define our Christmas present. We can learn from our joys and sorrows, our trials and tribulations, to love one another a little more today than we did yesterday. And maybe, all our Christmas futures will be defined better than our Christmas pasts.

Her father gave her a burial blot
(Not jewellery or clothes or a yacht!)
When Debbie’s interred low
Will they add a gift bow
Still for now it’s a gift she’ll boycott!

I read this article on-line from the ‘Mirror’ newspaper and I couldn’t resist writing a limerick about it.

I would have loved to see her face when she was told what she had been given!

Dale Patrick Chihuly
His creations sell for mega sponduli
A sculptor whose work is really first class
I adore his flowers made from blown glass

Last week my son went to the exhibition in Kew gardens London and sent me the most spectacular photographs which have introduced me to this amazing artist. We have now booked to go to London to see the exhibition for ourselves and my son has booked us tickets as an early Christmas present

It' is  Christmas eve and  am  not home I am at the seafront 
All alone 

Sat on a bench in the darkness night the tears of sadness I  have to fight. 

No Christmas present wrapped up for me I dont even have a Christmas tree.

It is heart breaking being all alone no Christmas cards no one calling on the phone. 

No Christmas dinner no Christmas fun just a lonely sandwich made for one.

If your wondering if this is the truth  just think of me I'm the living proof.

There's no stocking stuffed with presents
No punch bowl Christmas cheer
We haven't got the tree that 
We cut down every year
No friends and no family
We're all alone at last
No ghost from Christmas Future
Christmas Present or the Past
No, No turkey or a Ham
Nor chestnuts on the fire
No cookies filled with jam
Or puddings to desire
No sleigh and no Santa
Perhaps we went to far
Just let us get our hats and coats
And come to where you are.

Merry Christmas everyone !...

There it sits
Adorned in gold and red
Waiting for that someone
That special one to come
To unwrap and expose

A gift laid
Waiting for those hands
That gently pull at the bow
A careful rip at the gold paper
The present is given

Ah, to enjoy
The pleasure of unwrapping
That perfect gift, desired present
Allowing ourselves the merriment
Of making our own

Yet, it is a gift
That is given freely
With no strings, just hopes
That it brings smiles, happiness
To the one...

Your family and their love for you is the best Christmas present that you can receive.
That's the gospel truth, it's something that I will always believe.
You may think that no present could be better than a bicycle or a video game.
But if you had no family, it would be bad and your life wouldn't be the same.
Even if your presents are fantastic, remember that they can't compare to your family's love.
Please tell them how much they mean to you and that they're what you're thinking of....
