He stands in front of a tree

Snow magically falls to an already white ground

Wonderment fills his boyish mind

What is Christmas all about?

 

People singing Christmas carols stroll the streets

Silent night, Holy night, he hums along

Gifts are bought, wrapped in paper and bows

Spirits jolly with Christmas cheer

Is that what Christmas is?

 

Boys and girls play in the wintry snow

Anticipation of santa coming to town

Hoping their Christmas list made it to the North Pole

Worry etch faces  in fear that santa caught them

being naughty instood of nice

Is that what Christmas is about?

 

Colorful lights shimmer everywhere

Christmas wreaths hang on doors

Minture  santa clause and reindeer stand in yards

Franticly he looks about in dismay

Surely this must be a mistake

What about the baby Jesus?

 

Nestle high in the top of the tree is an angle

Stars brighten the wintery night

A smile widens his face as he sees the manger scene

Warmth enters his young heart

Away In A Manger , he sings

Jesus is the reason for the season,

That is the true meaning of Christmas

Your words are true. Jesus should the reason for Christmas. It is time for family to gather to create memory of time together. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
