Christmas Is
Yes, the season is once again here...Christmas is,
the mingling of fresh forest evergreens with fragrances of incense and myrrh floating in the air bringing cheerful mood to all who care.
Mistletoe and holly placed here and there, adding festive touches to rising spirits, Christmas is in the air!
Christmas is...
smells of cookies, cakes and candies cooking on mother's stove, the perfumed bouquet stirring memories for all who have shared.
Carolers strolling the walkways, songs of hope, faith and peace filling the skies to be heard.
Christmas is...
bright lights, the multi colored displays twinkling in cold crisp clear nights, warming all who gaze upon the sights.
Flakes of snow dancing through the dawning day, sleds and snowmen now appear, excitement
stirring playful folks, Christmas is now here.
Christmas is...
people laughing, people singing, people calling out good tidings and cheer to all who are close and dear.
Thoughts of seasons past, pausing in silent reverie, recalling those no longer here, thankful for festive holiday memories once shared.
Christmas is...
children smiling, eyes opened wide in gleeful gaze, hopeful wishes whispered to bearded Santa's dressed all in red, good will now spreading through gathering crowds.
The time is here when Christmas comes to renew our brotherhood, seek forgiveness and give our love, share our blessings, and with prayerful words and deeds of kindness spread joy and peace throughout the land ...
Yes, 'tis the Season of Christmas Time!
