Food, drinks and presents, <br />Lavish food and lavish giving <br />Christmas parties, Christmas delights, <br />Christmas trees and sparkling lights! <br /> <br />Christmas for families and loved ones <br />Christmas for haves and have-nots, <br />Time for spending, time for eating <br />Time for giving, time for sharing. <br /> <br />Detox Christmas from excesses <br />Seen only from what can be fished <br />Out from our accounts and wallets, <br />from what we can feed our tummies. <br /> <br />Detox Christmas by welcoming <br />The gift of Love and Grace into <br />our being, removing toxins of greed, <br />of hate, fear, and doubt in human heart.<br /><br />Elizabeth Padillo Olesen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-and-detoxification/
