Bright and shiny lights,
They are such great sights.
Big and little presents under the tree,
You count them out 1, 2, 3…
You look around to smiling faces,
But you see a few blank spaces.
Where those few people you need,
They don’t even show any greed.

© Irvin E., Kannapolis, NC

The author's comments:
Christmas is the one holiday where no matter what you do or say you are happy and can't be mad for more than a few seconds.I love Christmas because it brings my family closer together; all through the year my family and I fight until the holidays come around but Christmas is the best holiday because it brings everyone closer.
