The time has come for Christmas cheer
Regardless of what actually feels near and dear
To our hearts this holiday season.
The pressure is on to celebrate red, white, and green
Regardless of whether or not we will be truly seen
By those we call family and friends.
The mood shifts inward as we remember the child inside
The part of us that loved opening gifts and thrived on the excitement of
Togetherness and being visited by Santa Claus.
The days get shorter, and night becomes longer
As we witness the wrapping up of another year.
What did 2023 teach us?
What was this year’s gift for you?
Jolly jingle bells ring
While we all sing
Glory to baby Jesus
Who came to Earth
For the purpose to Be and Show Love.
These holidays are in fact holy days of feeling the darkness
While we understand that the light continues to shine bright
Even when we can’t see it or feel it.
