CHRISTMAS TIME...

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Dec 02, 2017

"Oh, the joys of Christmas time, with parties, and fun games like charades to mime,
Christmas celebrations are joyfully on the way,
soon Rudolph will be pulling his gigantic, heavy sleigh,
full to the brim, with yummy sweets, and fun toys,
filling the Christmas stockings, of the good little girls, and boys.
The precious sounds of children's laughter, 
wouldn't it be nice, to all live happily ever after.
Symbolic Christmas trees, festooned with many colourful lights,
lifting the gloom of the dark, cold winters nights.
Christmas good cheer makes everyone come alive,
to party favourites, we all merrily dance, and jive....but let's not forget 
the true meaning it's bringing, 
just listen to the words of the beautiful Christmas carols you're singing."

Lovely read Frank. Christmas is the time for sharing Love. Too many only think on what they will get or what they can give and not concentrate on the true meaning of Christmas. Take care. Janet
