Great Christmas poem for the competition, it is important to remember the day and celebrate it how you like. I agree it can be to commercial . I think this year people appreciate what's important.

Thank you, Julie!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about Christmas that is more spiritually than literally but most people only see the bling and shiny things that make Christmas special for them.

Sally,
This is a well written diatribe on the commercialism of Christmas. You are right Christmas is in the heart and should always stay there. But the other things like Ugly sweater/tie contests are just another way to bring joy to the season. Though the Christmas dinner with the family is a better way.
Keep writing, stay healty, and Merry Christmas
Congrats on becoming this month's recognized writer. Good luck in the contest.

There is more to Christmas than gifts and tinsel and I liked your message here. I miss my family and Christmas will be sad without them this year, a poignant message here, love Dolly x

Comment from Karen Estep
Well done, my fellow writer! You absolutely hit the nail on the head when describing how commercialized Christmas is for so many!
Your rhyme was easy to follow, and I love your choice of graphic.

Very well said. Christmas has become too commercialized, but maybe this year will be different. We can all be satisfied with what we have and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas.

Comment from royowen
I guess I can only agree with you, beautifully written my friend, yes, although Christmas tends to be bondage manifold, for the sake of one day, there's much more time devoted to it. Beautifully written in articulate, rhyming verse, that titillates the poetic heart, and of course the love of the reason for Christmas, well done, blessings Roy

Nice rhyme and rhythm. Good imagery and your theme was presented clearly. I love the ending! I also enjoyed how you used slang words to show your point.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is a fun entry into the rhyming contest. The tone is wry in just the right amount, and does in fact mention the Christmas thing that is important to the author, and that is heart. So much depends on the heart.
Wishing you great luck in the voting booth with this gem.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Poet,
I LOVE THIS! What a great summarization of what we have done to this blessed and fabulous holiday. I remember when my grandfather would come in with a big box of oranges so he could give one to each family member. When he was a child -- waaayyy back when - that would have been a royal treat and it was a tradition he loved.
Look how far we've come. --sigh--
I like your Christmas -- may I come, please?
Thanks and good luck! (I like your poem best of all these entries I've read so far!)
