"Christmas Time
Christmas time is a very special time of the year for me.
It is a reminder to be thankful, considerate, and to appreciate the time you spend with your family.
I remember as a little girl, me and my little brother both would wait patiently for Christmas time.
But we both knew that we did not come close to having the money, not even a dime.
So my mom and us would cruise through the town just to see the Christmas lights.
I remember just like yesterday, so beautiful, and blissful was the sight.
There and back we would gaze out the windows at all the ravishing decorations and gleaming lights as we would joyride.
I only wondered why we couldn't be like all the other boys and girls. sigh...
Then one memorable year we experienced Christmas for the very first time.
Off to the Dollar store mama went.
To us the world it meant.
The next Christmas me and my little brother got to wrap the same presents from the year before.
It was so exciting, fun, we had a absolute blast, we did not care if it was not new from the store.
But from those experiences in life we learned to be thankful and appreciate every single little thing.
And to take life itself as a blessing.
For the most part our mama was never there.
But me and him still have beautiful memories to share.
I am now twenty three, both of our parents are sadly gone.
I am still trying to grow up myself, and teach my children right from wrong.
Little things I have learned in my life I share with my three little boys.
That life is not always about getting what you want, candy and toys.
It is now getting close too Christmas time.
It is just another blessed day to praise God and spend time with this beautiful family of mine.

Dear Christy,
I love to read your Christmas verse,
Thoughts of Christmas and the seasonal significance, necessarily, are a reflection of an individual’s own experiences as one follows a passage through life. The thoughts of joy and giving seem especially joined at Christmastime. Joy is reflected in Christmas carols such as “Joy to the World.” Joy brings an euphoric feeling of well being and it seems to happen, particularly during the Christmas season. It appears to be universal. Joy of the Christmas season reflects on civility and simple courtesy. Friends and even strangers share a tendency to be less impatient. Doors are opened and passage is offered more often.
Your poem is good in its theme, it more like prose poem than a straight poem with regard to the poetic format, Thanks for sharing, my love, my vote
Dear Poetess Christy, my greetings of “Merry Christmas” to your family, husband and kids in view of enhancing the human values and spirit.
Love & Regards
