This work has reached the exceptional level

This is such a lovely poem about Christmas and grandchildren. The title is great and the art work is so true. Christmas is nice with the gifts under the tree, but the true gift of Christmas was the birth of Jesus. Great rhyming in your poem also. Yes, grandchild eyes pop when they see the gifts under the Christmas tree. But, as parents and grandparents, sharing the real reason for the season is our gift to them. Nicely written.

    You are welcome. Roy, can I ask how many poems have your written. Do you write every day? Thanks

    since I joined FS about 18 months ago, I have posted 230 poems. I do write everyday, while I am far more comfortable in free verse style I risk most challenges and have taken, much needed, meter and sonnet writing classes. Retirement and Covid are excuse. LOL

This gives happy images of full family gatherings to open presents Christmas morning. It shows how important love is both of family and
of Jesus on this and evey day.
Keep writing, good luck and stay healthy
Merry Christmas.

You have a smooth flow of rhyming words that adds to the strength of your theme. Christmas day is well described but you mention how important the true meaning of Christmas is. Savor, quaver and savior are excellent rhyming of words.

What a beautiful poem. I love the last verse "Dedicating another Christmas for the best gift that could be teaching our children His gift is better than any under the tree! That is the true meaning of Christmas

Must agree with the poet. He is the reason for the season, the gift of eternal life. You make it clear in your poem and I salute the poet. Thanks for sharing and have a Merry Christmas.

Excellent contest entry! You've done a great job of covering all the beautiful parts of Christmas, in particular the birth of Jesus: "Dedicating another Christmas for the best gift that could be teaching our children His gift is better than any under the tree!"
Thank you for sharing and good luck!

A very well-written rhyming poem for Christmas and to start the day with the story of Jesus Christ who was born on this day is the best and correct way to start the day of Christmas.
