Can Anyone Love Christmas Who's Not Christian

December 20, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. Since Christmas and Chanukah fall so near each other this year (Christmas Eve and the first night of Chanukah are both on December 24), this week’s theme is the spirit common to both holidays.

Today’s poem is about appreciating Christmas even if you’re not Christian.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Can anyone love Christmas who’s not Christian?

How, if one does not believe in Christ?

Remember that in life no truth is certain.

In loving beauty, doubt is quite all right.

So one can see the beauty of the story

That God came down to Earth in human form.

Maybe all can share the hope and glory

Angels sang of when that child was born,

Singing songs of joy on Christmas morn.
