Hello Mrs. KT,
You have very beautifully depicted the SPIRIT of Christmas, and your Christmas Wish.
Impressive and PERFECTLY matching the theme wording; Enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme.
4th and last stanza are particularly noteworthy.
Pictures complement the theme.
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.

reflection can bear a purpose or goal. once our childhood is reflected we tend to carry those memories to our adulthood. your poem was well thought of and written. thanks for the read.

Thank you for your Christmas wish to everyone, which I shall embrace personally.
My own experience of Christmas in an opposite season is rather different!

I like this stanza best:

For all I know it's a small seed,
That lies waiting within our souls,
And when nourished by goodwill cheer,
We sense higher purpose and goals.

...and also the idea that we can carry this Christmassy feeling of good cheer throughout the year when we acknowledge God in our lives.

Diane,
This poem is simple but brings back childhood memories and also the feeling Christmas brings to us. It brings us together in generosity which we all hope will last throughout the year.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Merry Christmas
Joan

Excellent entry for the Christmas Poetry contest. You captured the meaning of Christmas well. The presentation is awesome. The rhymes do not seem forced. Your poem flows well. It draws on emotions and it presents strong images.

A very nice Christmas poem, Diane. Great picture of a child looking for Santa. Great idea of using a small seed that will grow into Christmas spirit.

This is a beautiful poem for this contest. The Christmas season is so special and brings us lots of joy, but it shouldn't end with Christmas. Jesus brings joy all year long. I like your closing verse:
"And so, my Christmas wish to all
Is simple, but comes from my heart:
May the glow of this season grow,
And may each day His love impart..."
