What Does Christmas Mean To You?

Jubilance radiates tranquil moments,
Young lovers pursue tender embraces–
Neighbourhood children join in games
Sweet aromas saturate festive appetites
Families share in united harmony.

Midnight services fill the churches,
Choirs sing in joyous proclamation–
Nativity scenes and dramas unfold,
Ascended praises announce His birth
Jesus Christ, Saviour and Lord.

Silence falls before the dawn,
Morning excitement awakes the birds–
Gifts are exchanged and children squeal,
Doorbells ring by kith and kin
Celebrations unfold with a festive feast.

Church bells echo through the town,
God’s people gather near and far –
Scripture is read of our Saviour’s birth,
Mankind raises their voices with carols sung,
Christians celebrate the birth of Christ.

  2. Sadly, Christmas seems to have become less than it was. Our village church has permanently closed its doors, and consumerism is geared up for expensive presents and increasing debt. And so on.

    However, I love your words and they do conjured up images from past Christmases when I was a youth, and all the family gathered for at least a day.

    Our Christmas will be small and personal, we would like more, but cost and travel make things less likely when the family is spread out across the country.

    May your words mirror your festive time of year. Take care and stay warm. G:)
