Those fruits, nuts, and other foods for the holiday <br />Symbols of hypocrisy, showiness of false affluence <br />A display of false belief for a new year’s abundance <br />A charade of false pretenses disguising generosity <br /> <br />Why bother? For all those mess when you can do… <br />…the true Christian and the true essence of Christmas <br />Christmas is not what you have to show you got <br />But to share willingly to those materially challenge <br /> <br />Oh Christmas! it comes and go in many fashions <br />In many ways, interpretations and realizations <br />But lo! Its real essence have been neglected <br />What is it then? Well Christmas is for you <br /> <br />It is for you alone and to find its real meaning <br />Relative as it maybe but try to look around you <br />Hear that voice talking to you telling you its essence <br />Christmas sometimes so quaint and outmoded <br /> <br />But give thanks by praying of what you have now <br />You’re feeling great- a euphoria from perfect health <br />Beside you your special person with his/her gift <br />Everyday that makes you happy and welcomes another <br /> <br />Oh yes family makes your Christmas meaningful <br />They are the true essence and constituent of it <br />With the snow and coldness of this holiday season <br />It’s only a close family ties and LOVE makes christmas warm <br /> <br />(010109)<br /><br />Edwin Alba Empestan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aaa-christmas-is-it/
