I’m generally not a fan of poetry, but I appreciate the art and how so many people can express themselves poetically. Me, not so much. I’m one of those people who, if it doesn’t rhyme, I don’t get it.
That said, here’s a lovely Christmas poem by Marjorie Foster Fleming, called “Christmas Magic,” that spoke to me. I hope you enjoy it.
Dear, look to the Christmas angel
atop your Christmas tree.
Then all your wishes will come true,
When she smiles down on you.
Listen to the bells of Christmas
ringing throughout the land
The church, the school, and sleigh bells, too,
sounds of love…old…yet…new.
In the middle of falling snow and sparkling crystal rain
when winds blow cold against the frosted window pane
there’s a pleasant warmth felt everywhere in the merry Christmas glow
Since all your Christmas blessings dwell
as spirits in your heart;
become as Santa full of mirth.
Spread peace and joy on earth.
Merry Christmas dear readers and friends. I hope your home is filled with peace, love, family, and magic.

Fun fact about me: I didn’t start celebrating Christmas until I was in my late 20’s.
