Christmas

Christmas poem(for aunt Linda)
Is christmas about giving and recieving.
Is it about christ?
Shopping lists, time off work in the birth of travelling/leaving?
Decorations and lights?

Each person must choose their christmas tree,
and some will look past the forest and dare to dream.
Each father will decide when to tell their child
santa is a sales theme.

Is christmas happy?
I pray you make it that way.
For the fresh smell of pine still follows the map
to the land of decay.

So choose the day for whatever culture abides you.
If only a jolly red and white dressed bearded man
could offer us half the truth.
That Jesus can.
