Happy Holidays!

Wishing for peace,
For everlasting joy,
Happiness and love,
For every girl and boy.

A time to be with family,
To feel the love in the air,
Not a time for tears,
Unhappiness or despair.

The holiday season,
Full of love, joy, and hope...
To be grateful for what you have,
Not to sit around and mope.

Colored lights and decorations,
Candles or Christmas trees,
Whatever it is you wish to do,
Just enjoy it, please.

Some are not as fortunate,
Be grateful for what you have,
Some have no family or loved ones,
To make them smile or laugh.

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa,
No matter the celebrated holiday,
I wish you the best with it,
While celebrating it your own way...

A wonderfully written poem, Amanda! I truly enjoyed reading this poem! Your work always impresses me and a lot of other writers on this website. You never let me down with your such beautiful work. It's true that the holidays should be about spending time with one another and not all of the gifts. Also, celebrating the birth of Jesus. I think some people tend to overlook the main reason of Christmas for their own selfish reasons. If they don't celebrate him all of the time, then they should atleast of December the 25th of every single year that we have left in this messed up world. He's done so much for us. He died for our sins! That's the sweetest and best thing a person could ever do for someone else I must say. Excellent job, Amanda once again! :)

"Some are not as fortunate,
Be grateful for what you have,
Some have no family or loved ones,
TO make them smile or laugh." --You're speaking the truth! I think it's sad when some people in this world go without happiness since they have no one to share that with.

Thank you so much, Ashley! (: your reviews of my poems are always so sweet! And yes, many people are beginning to forget the true meaning of these holidays, no matter the holiday that they celebrate.. None of these holidays are about being selfish! They're about being thankful for what you have, appreciating your loved ones.. Not about whatever gifts you get. Like Christmas for example is about the birth of Jesus, but if you went and asked a whole bunch of random people what they thought of when they thought of Christmas.. Well that wouldn't be their answer, and it's terrible! But thanks again Ashley (:

You're very welcome! (: I love reading your poems. They're completely awesome and amazing! Yes I totally agree with you on that subject of matter too. I know there are some decent people out in the world that do know the true meaning of Christmas. Haha! You're welcome once again! (:

[Amandaaa Caroline (:]

Hahahaha, I'm glad, I enjoy your poetry as well(: and yes, I know, but the sad thing is that the greedy and selfish ones far outnumber the decent people :/

You should sell this to Hallmark. And that is not an insult, so please don't think I'm saying that this is just crappy christmas card material. This is actually really cute.

[Amandaaa Caroline (:]

Hahahaha. No, I know that you aren't meaning to insult me. Thank you, Casanova (:

Sorry for such a miniscule review, this is truly wonderful. The sadness that you try to dissolve, sits in the mind from the past. It is true, some people never find happiness, no matter the season. I hope that everyone who writes and reviews on this website finds happiness and joy this holiday season. Let us all be grateful for what we have been given.
"Colored lights and decorations,

I like this...how you honestly want them to enjoy it, no matter what they are doing for the holidays. Nicely penned.
Best regards,

Dell
