Enjoyed your thoughtful reminiscing of a more innocent time of the world. At least, it seemed that way to us. Yes, it would be nice to just not have these current problems or homelessness, drug abuse, shootings etc.
If only we could just unite in giving thanks to God for His Son and the gift of family.

Comment from Jasmine Girl
What an interesting view. I know there are a lot of ugliness in the world and suffering like people in Ukraine. But sometimes, we just have to focus on the good. I understand the melancholy because Christmas comes and goes. Please enjoy.
Well done.

Comment from Heather Knight
Your poem is like a painting, you describe everything so well!
I like living in our century. I love technology, for example, and all the things I can do thanks to it, like talking to you, studying in foreign universities online...
However, when I read the last verse I finally understood your nostalgia and felt a bit sad.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Comment from Charles W. Johnson
I hear the wistfulness in your words. Excellent job of adding colorful background and story to the scene. Those times are not lost, we just need to try a little harder to recognize them. Merry Christmas!

Comment from karenina
There is a very real mix of melancholy with every "merry" and I understand exactly what you are saying. Still ~ back in the days of yore there were homeless, and disease, and all manner of behaviors that were unsafe. Our awareness of then fades as the generations fade... And sadly, we are inundated with 24/7 "Breaking News" of every imaginable horror. On a micro level? We can still reach out and make a difference. We can! One ripple in the pond of goodwill. Just one. Let's all keep trying!

What you are now witnessing is the advanced efforts of Satan the Devil who knows that his time is just about up and he is doing all that he can to destroy the world and it s people. We must pray for each other even more fervently than ever before.

Comment from John Ciarmello
I have to agree, JLR! This image does evoke a sense of loss, but also of warm memories and days of old. We recognize so much more about the beauty of the present after it has passed, and we begin to reminisce. This was a heartwarming piece. I enjoyed it! Happy Holidays!! best, JohnC

Comment from Begin Again
You couldn't have said it any better. Our society has somehow turned the beauty of the season into darkness with all the crime (people robbing others or breaking into homes and cars to steal gifts) And yes, the unfortunate who succumb to street drugs and resort to things so much worse. It's difficult to find the joy amongst families when they would prefer to fight and turn away from family. I miss the good old days too!
Hugs, Carol
