Christmas with all her charm and holiday

glory (un)fortunately is fast approaching

and any child of an age even old enough to

understand will upon that so beloved morning

need no further instruction nor coaching

as joyously into his promised packages he'll

cheerfully rip

Oh Christmas, how were you able to upon us all

so long ago get such an unbelievable grip

reaching out to the child in each of us and in

nearly every being able to even remotely

comprehend

his last cherished dollar on this very holiday

he is all too willing to go out and spend

but for a day of good food, some merriment

and a farthing of good cheer

Christmas, ah indeed must surely be the

greatest time of the year

so, come St. Nicholas gather us all

for you are the best blessing from the so very

blessed himself

God who sent you to represent in all of us

a small grain of grace and God's good will

for that alone must be the most needed in

this so terribly confusing world

filled by immediacy indifference, and overtures

of over kill

so give peace room in your so hungered hearts

to spread her tiny, gentle wings of hope and

reflect in each of us such promise for a better

tomorrow

now come with me Christmas

let us together go off and elope.............
