Christmas Is as Christmas Does

December 27, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Christmas and Hanukkah. The first night of Hanukkah was Dec. 22, and Christmas was celebrated on Dec. 25.

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

A Christmas poem about how one makes one’s own Christmas:

Christmas is as Christmas does.
How one lived is how life was.
Rejoicing is what brings one joy.
Inner winds one’s spirits buoy.
So must one create each year
The fit occasion for one’s cheer,
Making Christmas beautiful,
A duty more than dutiful,
Sustaining what one holds most dear.
