Festive greetings everyone! Paul and Beth kindly invited me to guest post on “What Christmas means to me”, so I thought I would write and share a little festive poem with you.
What does Christmas mean to me?
Family, friends and a beautiful tree
Frosty mornings, hear the robin red breast sing
Here are a few of my festive favourite things
Making Mince pies with little stars on top
Toasting good health with champagne until I might just pop
Twinkle lights and exchanging smiles
Sending heartfelt greetings across the miles
Living in the moment of festive joy
Faces full of excitement on little girls and boys
Christmas crackers and mistletoe
Holly and ivy tied with a big red bow
Reindeers called Rudolph, Prancer and Dancer
Watching Christmas movies in my snowflake pyjamas
Handmade ornaments that tell a story
Neighbourhood decorations in all their glory
Decorating the tree and sipping mulled wine
Being thankful, loving and kind
To those less fortunate than ourselves
Take time to help out to stack their shelves
The wish I bestow upon one and all
Be healthy, happy and stand up tall
To love one another, give thanks and spread peace
Let go of fear, so any anger can cease
No matter where on earth I roam
Christmas isn’t Christmas without being home
Home is where the heart lives, so precious and true
so, take some time to reflect on….
What does this festive season mean to you?
