Christmas comes
But once a year
And when it comes
It brings good cheer
The reason that
It brings good cheer
Is that it comes
But once a year.
Suppose it happened
once a week.
I'd be too tired
to write or speak.
But struggling with it
One time yearly
I've still got strength
to say sincerely
Merry Christmas
I received this Christmas greeting from a friend who gave me permission to share it.
I love a nice honest sentiment.
I love it....great post
ReplyDeleteLove it (o:
ReplyDeleteI just read Fridays...glad you are getting the tooth thing taken care of...what a pain it can be. It must have been so much fun to see your GD in a play like that. I bet you were just glowing.
So glad we are not dealing with a bunch of snow. Remember a few years back when it snowed before Christmas and snowed and snowed and never really melted until Spring. Enough to make you want to move South.
Wonderfully written. Merry Christmas Jeanie to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Catching up on my reading - read Friday's post - I just found out I have a cavity under a crown and depending on how far advanced it is, I may need it pulled! I hate dentists. You had more snow than we did - this has been a crazy fall! I hope we don't pay for this in the spring!
ReplyDeleteVery amusing - and true! I wish you a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of poem. Simple and truthful.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jeanie and thanks for your friendship. We shall meet one day, as I said before.
I'll second that! I'm just about ready for this magical season to be over already! Cute poem.
ReplyDeleteTotally real...My words exactly, now why couldn't I have thought of that??
ReplyDeleteChristmas cheer is happening in my life. Took the time to entertain 6 women in my home yesterday and what a splendid time we had. So often we are so busy, so I decided to create a "slow down time" with good friends.
This is great...my kinda read sweetie.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very blessed and merry Christmas my friend.
God bless ya!!! :o)
Really a nice one! Getting ready to relax!
ReplyDeleteSweet sentiment! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jeanie! I hope it's a wonderful one for you all!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family. Nice holiday poem from your friend and thanks for sharing it in your blog.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this recently, we wear ourselves out for one day and then "life" is back to normal the day afterwards. Same like a wedding, so much goes into planning the special day sometimes people forget to look beyond it to the actual marriage. Maybe we do the same with Christmas, put so much into that actual day; maybe we need to take that spirit of giving and helping others and carry it with us beyond Christmas. then maybe we wouldn't get too stressed out about it. or maybe I just think too much :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
betty
Oh that is soooo true! I'd never survive if Christmas was every week!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by to tell you how much I enjoy visiting your blog and that I wish you and your wonderful family a very happy Christmas together.
Enjoy! xo jj
