Who is Christmas? : An Original Poem

Good evening, my friend across the globe

That things are well, I surely hope

I have just been reading the letters you sent me

Happy to know you haven’t forgotten

 

Good morning, my friend across the globe

Things have been well just has you have hoped

Approaching are the holidays that I’ve been awaiting

So Merry Christmas, in the days that are coming

 

This month that is coming start our season of harvest

And this month is when you celebrate Christmas

Although I’m not quite sure what you mean by the phrase

Who is this Christmas? Who are these holidays?

 

 

Christmas is the return of the snow and the skates

The warmth of the fire and the tree we decorate

Christmas is the spirit that tells you to give

 

Without regard of what you would receive

But my friend, snow and winter

They’re but a foreign notion here

Does that mean there’s no Christmas here?

 

Christmas is everywhere, unbound by seasons

Unbound by acceptance, unbound by religion

Maybe he’s in the city, where I find a figure universal

Is Christmas the man that I see in the commercials

Robed in red and white, giving gifts to the nice kids?

Going in through chimneys as the night strikes mid?

 

To be honest, I don’t know if he truly is Christmas

Or if it’s the familiar tunes I can’t get out of my system

Some say it’s the baby the wise men did visit

Following the the savior the star was implicit

 

Oh how I wish we observed this such peaceful occasion

One of joy, and of giving, and of heartfelt appreciation

Oh how I wish we’d all come forth and unite in celebration

With no hate in our hearts, but with love as foundation

 

So tell me, what’s your Christmas wish?

For Christmas to be in our hearts everyday in our lives.

 

Merry Christmas to you, my friend

 

And Happy Holidays to you
