Just think that Thanksgiving is almost here!
And so will the loved ones that we hold dear
Soon it will be time to shop for friends and family;
Christmastime makes me so happy!
I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree
And give back to the community that used to give to me.
Some gifts I'll have to buy online
Can't buy here, but that's just fine
Christmas isn't about the presents.
Christmas-----it's magic!
It is, if you want it to be!
Give with all your heart.
You wait and see!

- Comment from author about the poem: When I was very young, we were poor and my community and churches would give us baskets of fruit and other things we needed. Also it was the one day when arguing ceased. And when I say give with all your heart, I don't mean your wallet, though it's nice if you can donate to a needy cause. But you can donate your time! :-)

Beautiful write,
beautiful message,
Christina!
We all have our personal
feelings and outlook on what the holidays mean to us! All I can say is that I’m thankful for all who
care and give selflessly
of themselves not
just on holidays...but every day!
I do agree Laura! Especially about the part about acting like its christmas everyday. Very important! Thanks for the compliment and saving as a fave! I appreciate it!
Yes dear Christina our heart must shine through the gifts we give - - a lovely warm anticipation of good times to come where our caring can be universally expressed. Thanks for this positive read.
I appreciate your warm compliment and reply. Thanks for the read and I was also humbled by your favorite save. Have a great day!
This was wonderful. So delightful and a joy to read. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the read and wonderful compliment, SM! I appreciate it very much!
Giving is the spirit of Christmas. Good write.
Thanks so much lasergraph! I appreciate the read and compliment! Can't wait for the holidays to arrive!
A fine write Christina. I'm dreading Black Friday though. We have it in UK too, but don't have Thanksgiving.
Oh well, it'll be nothing new, just the usual - lots of silly people going mad in buying things they neither want nor need, and may not be able to afford even at sale prices! doh!
I agree, orchidee! Thanks for the read and reply! I try to avoid Black Friday. Now they have sales before then to avoid the mess! I agree with what you are saying though. 🙂
Very uplifting, beautiful reminder of what the Holidays are all about, Christina! You nailed it!
Oh I appreciate the read and the compliment very much, Fred! I just can't wait till the holidays get here! 🙂
Very sweet Christina, a lovely piece
Thanks Bill, I appreciate it very much!!
