Christmas for me is the greatest time

Of the year,

It doesn’t change the world or its

Problems.

Our problems or worries don’t

Disappear in December,

You don’t have to let the holidays

Get you down at all.

I take December as a break to enjoy

And reflect on the good that’s in my

Life, I am in good health, a few aches

And pains,

A roof over my head, food on the

Table each night, a warm bed to

Rest my head.

A few luxuries, such as a fireplace

And a shower, clothes on my back,

I have my own stress and worries in

Life, but they can’t consume me as I

Celebrate.

There’s much to be thankful for,

Light some candles, decorate,

Appreciate family and friends,

There’s something to find within

The winter months.

Christmas is once a year, raise a

Glass and find something to cheer

About,

Pray for those who are less fortunate,

Those without a home, less than you

Have.

Merry Christmas and a better New

Year, for all. Keith Garrett
