For those who celebrate Christmas, here’s one of our favorite poems of the season: “Advent” by Ann Ellerton.

We cherish the memories of it being recited by our daughter (the child in our profile photo bicycle trailer). And still smile on remembering the movements of her little hands as she lived out, in her imagination, this winter wildlife scene.

The Meaning of Christmas - El Rey Niffen - Medium

Bells once tolled with sacred chime. Whispers of hope through the halls of time. The manger’s glow, the star’s embrace. A promise of love for the human race. But now the streets are paved with gold…

"When I was little
Like the little ones here today
I used to wish that Christmas was everyday
Couldn’t wait to see what recitation I had to say
And the toys that I would get to play with..."

🌟 Christmas ist broken🌟

Broken Christmas
In the glittering shards of baubles
Glittering shards of candypaper
Candles
Lights
bells
smells
Glittering shards
Everywhere
Pile of pieces
Of broken broken Christmas

Einen frohen Heiligmorgen allerseits.🎄

A Christmas Poem by Malcolm Guite…
God gave us all a garden once, and walked with us at eve
That we might know Him face to face with no need to believe.
But we denied and hid from Him concealing our own shame,
Yet still, He came to look for us and call us each by name.
He found us where we hid from Him, and he clothed us in His grace,
But still we turned our backs on Him and would not see His face.

Happy Christmas everyone. 🎄♥️🌟 I hope you have a wonderful warm time. I’ve had a cold this last week, so I couldn’t record a Christmas song… so I wrote a poem instead. ‘Tonight Is The Night’. (Poem is on screenshot).

TREE’S UP 🎄

Artificial Christmas tree,
My, you are so tinselly,
Full of fairy lights and balls,
Like a festive shopping mall.

In your branches, clamped and wired,
Sit dead robins, now expired,
Festooned in the usual way,
Upon Granny’s birthing day.

Make the most of these few weeks,
Stretch your limbs and wear your treats,
Soon you will be folded, boxed,
Stripped and put back in the loft.

#ChatGPT helped me with this little #contentmanagement #christmaspoem:

Once upon a midnight dreary,
As I worked, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious web page,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
Suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

"Tis the season," I muttered,
"Web content management and all that jazz."
I opened wide the door to see
A website, bright and merry
Decked out in holiday finery,
A feast for the eyes, so jolly and free.

Not that anyone requested it, but here's a jaunty holiday poem for all the hedgehog fans out there. #poem #poetry #PoetryCommunity #ChristmasPoem #hedgehogs #WinterWonderland
