This yuletide season may be jubilant
for another Christmas has come
but looking back on previous bygones
of Christmas cheer I stop and remember.
A time of good spirits and laughs were shared;
gifts exchanged, warmth a suffused sentiment
circulating within.
I smile.
Chestnuts roasting on an empty fire.
This Christmas can be lonely without
you here.
A separate moment of now displaces
the then.
Yet even on another Christmas come and gone I still remember all of you...
-From someone at a "remote" distance, Merry X-mas to you...
Nice way to reach out to friends and loved ones.
