Lovely and heartfelt--a fine entry for the contest. Elegant and graceful--effective device of posing a query that you then propose various answers to, all of which are true!

Comment from Gloria ....
What a fine Christmas poem this is. Just the right amount of imagery from long ago to the true meaning of the season.
Your poem flows perfectly and the rhymes, well I'm still thinking about the toys. ;-)
Exceptional poem here, and a joy to read today.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice images and
presentation, diane.
-A well written poem
filled with words of
Christmas and the
ways it brings us joy.
-You do a good job showing
what some of those are, like
memories when were young,
and the lights of Christmas
can shine the year through
if we choose to let them.
-A very good concluding verse
sending your Christmas wishes
to us. May they be returned to
you, as well for a wonderful
Christmas and New Year, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

What a beautiful Christmas poem, Diane. I think if you put this in all your Christmas cards, all the readers would be blessed. I especially liked:
"All through the year, if we so choose,
When to His grace our lives consign."
May we all consign our lives to His grace!
Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from karenina
It is a gift of your purity of style that every word feels sincere and I take each one to heart, only to wish you the very best of the season as well! I'm well worn out from covid, from market shortages and businesses closing. All things material are falling away and I know my family, like yours, is happy to return to the spirituality of Christmas! A beautiful sentiment, expertly rendered!

The message of your wonderful, well-written poem is heartwarming--and simple. It IS the simple things we do to lift others up that mean the most in the long run. I have a Christmas mindset, to a degree, year-round.
Lovely descriptions

Thank you for sharing this lovely poem which I really enjoyed it is a lovely time at Christmas but I sometimes think that we make too much of how great it is and forget the real meaning, and how important it really is.
