What are your thoughts about Christmas?

Question

all those Joys and all that wonder

All those happy happy days

Looking at lights

getting belts tight

trying to save up for Christmas time



Anticipation

Deliberation

Prayers about getting right gifts

Working extra

staying up late

all well worth it

cause it will be great

That's Christmas time, Christmas time

so I wrote this rhyme

With that in mind

When I was just thinking 'bout Christmas time



I wonder what's the magic

is it all about the kids?

their happy smiling faces so excited in your midst?

Or is it just the special time with family and friends?

Or is it just the Joy at Christmas that never seems to end?

What is it about Christmas

I ask myself tonight

That filled me up with Joy

and so much sweet delight?



I think it was anticipation

to see my loved ones be

so special in their thoughtfulness in having love towards me!

I think about the times and all the Christmas's of suprises

I think about the fudge and how my Joy just always rises

When I"d think about my family opening presents just from me

That they would be so happy to find it "be their cup of tea"

To know that I had made them smile

to know that they were Jolly

surrounded by the Christmas sounds of Laughter, gifts and Holly

I think it's all the wonder

that goes back to when we were young

and think the sky's the limit and no wishes are too dumb

I think it's just the suprises

the fun

and all the laughter

the pretty wrapping paper

the lights

the sparkle

the snow

What's so special about Christmas?

I don't know

I just don't know

but please God don't let it be destroyed

(I know this poem is really silly I stopped rhyming!)

Christmas

snowflakes on your nose

new socks on your toes

gasping at the beauty

stockings filled with fruities

There is nothing like it

Christmas

Answer 1

I am flying to Germany to visit with my mom for almost three weeks and three of my children are going with me. I am so exited , I haven't been there in 8 years and my mom is 78 , it is time for me to go see her.
And I don't get to put up no Christmas deco this year, oh how I love that, that saves a lot of work . I thank God for that.
God bless you all on Christmas and during the Holiday Season !!!

Answer 2

When I was younger and in my anti-establishment phase, I didn't agree with X-Mas, that it was more about shopping than the goodwill. Now that I'm on my own I realize I was just being narrow minded, whether X-Mas is connected to religion or not (and I'm not Christian), I think it's more about sharing goodwill and pleasantries, and what better way to do that than show someone you care with a thoughtful gift. Now I do agree some people go a little bit overboard and get greedy, but for the most part I think it's just a lovely time of year. Plus, people have been complaining Christmas is too comercialized for years, Harriett Beacher Stowe being the first to put her frustrations on paper in the 1800s!

Answer 3

christmas is not only a time for giving but also for recieving..........AWESOME HOLIDAY FOOD. i just cant get over the mashed potatoes and stuffing, my grandmother always makes homemade rolls and my uncles from OHIO, a pretty long ways away from me, come to visit. of course better than the food or presents is the snow,( i never get cold for some reason, even when im outside with snow all around me in a short sleeve shirt), i love building forts and then ganging up on my older brother with my other siblings. and who can forget the fantastic smells of the holday potpourri my father always makes. i love looking at the tree being decorated by a nice hot fire and all the tv specials that come on. every christmas night we stay up late and read the night before christmas. it is by far my favorite holiday. but for some reason i havnt been able to come up with any ideas on what i want for christmas. strange i know, but im just one of those guys i guess, but im really looking forward to all the new movies that are coming out, esppecially the golden compass, i suggest that if you have not yet read it , then WAIT TILL AFTER YOU SEE THE MOVIE OR IT COULD DESTROY IT, trust me i was completely horrified at what they did to eragon and im sure that this will be no different

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT, seeing as how its already past my bedtime.

Answer 4

Aww, it's cool...even though it evolved over a period of time...and has come to what it is now? I don't resent it because i have grown to know the truth about it...but, it offers a time to set back and enjoy another holiday that everyone shares in..in fact, the whole world! So, it's cool..even in WW2, they called a cease fire on christmas day on both sides...now, that's an impact! So, i think about things like this too....we go in debt...but, it's a time for everyone, especially kids...for us to give and share, and i find it "unifies" us just for a little while...like a breath of fresh air...where for a time, people are really people for a time before things go back to what they were... "Peace!" :)

Answer 5

Life is what u make it..and I love to have fun, entertain,shop etc..people that get upset about Christmas has other things going on with them self's and blame it on the holidays..I love this time of the year and Thank God for letting me see it....my cousin is blind and she loves Christmas..wow can u imagine not being able to see Christmas...so lets enjoy Christmas time and spread the joy before it's gone..

Answer 6

Christmas is NOT birth time of Jesus, nor Christ.
Christmas is NOT nicest time of year, but worst.
There were NOT 3 magi, but 3 gifts from Babylon Jews.
Wise men did NOT visit a babe, in a manger, at Bethlehem.
Shepherds do NOT abide flocks in fields at night at Xmas.
Xmas Tree is NOT Godly, but vain (Babylon) custom Jer 10.
King of the Jews (Law) is NOT The King of Kings (Grace).

Answer 7

It's all about the Birth of Jesus and to Celebrate his Birth. We have Christmas because of the Christ Child that died on the Cross when he was older which why we have Easter Resurrection day.
It's all about spending time with family and friends and giving them things then receiving.

Answer 8

I think I used to like Christmas more when I was younger (I still love it though). Hopefully Christmas will be snowy this year! Started snowing today where I am!

Answer 9

Christmas is just one of many holidays that the Christians raped from pagans (more specifically earth religions) and perverted it, lied about it, and slapped a makeshift Christian name/meaning onto it. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, all the most popular holidays were taken from pagan belief.

I still celebrate though...just in my own little ways.

Answer 10

I have many,but my main thought is that the Day is about the Birth of Christ.
