Here is one I wrote for the Christmas season. It's something that means alot to me when the last ornament is put on or it may be the first one.

The Star Upon The Tree

The star upon the tree
Glows for a special cause,
It's not to lend a light
For good ole Santa Claus.
Or to make the tree pretty
With its light all aglow,
But something very special
That you ought to know.

It is to remind us
That there was a special birth,
To remind us just how much
His love is really worth.
For Christ was born
On this special day,
The light from the star
That led the way.

Remember,
Christmas is not all about fruit and toys,
Or wrapping of presents for girls and boys.
For it was silent
On the night of his birth,
For He came to us all
To bless this earth.

When all the decorations are up
The last is the star,
To remind us of three wise men
That traversed so far.
The light of the star led them
To the manger so forlorn,
When the inn was too full
For the Christ child to be born.

When nothing else reminds you
What the true meaning is,
What Christmas is all about
Then I will tell you this.
God gave us His son
On this blessed holy night,
With the star up in the sky
With its shining light.

The star upon the tree
Is put there every season,
To remind us all the meaning
That Jesus is the reason.

EXCELLENT! Commercialism doesn't have to control your holidays. It's all in what you let have a say :tongue:

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! What a Gift we were given eh? Thanks Wolf!

That is beautiful and oh so true, the meaning of Christmas has been lost to the wants of Christmas. It is all about spending money we don't have on children that don't even need it. My oldest daughter started to teach her children that Christmas isn't all about presents. It's about Christ who was born to save us. The amount of money that she normally would have spent on them is now cut down to allow money to be spent on children that have no means to gifts. And I will say my grandchildren are very happy to be buying for other children,

This was a truly special poem Robert..I think it makes the perfect statement to a terribly commercialized Holiday..The birth of Jesus, I remember when my son was just 5years old asking me why we did not have a birthday cake on Christmas..we have ever since then. He is now 23.
