Celebrate "Christmas!"---every...blessed-day! Amen!

 
Author’s Note
 
“Why can’t everyday be just like Christmas?” Queried that infamous crooner gospel-king.
“But, it is. Indeed! Elvis! For those who choose to live it true!” Proclaim-I!
Find some: Christmas Magic! I invite the reader to create: Tradition: Faith! Family! Freedom!
Funny thing, how the “elite” erudite sophisticates keep busy preaching to “We, the people…” that “they”, the geniuses, are absolutely correct about all things while their promotions nearly always turn out to be---Wrong! Pernicious, indeed, is the world’s coordinated evil assault on religion, Christian values and worthy virtues; yet, not one secularist ever refuses the goodness of the benefits of Christmas as they struggle and search to secure any true meaning in their own lives. Purposeful-intent for goodness concludes satiated-“Peace on earth!” Indeed!
Gather family in front of the fireplace on Christmas Eve to enjoy a traditional tale. Add the experience to the nostalgia of your own family heritage of comfort-warm holiday memories.
Santa Claus displays a Christian attitude-of-generosity second only to our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, whose life testament is the greatest “Love-story” ever told.
Rejoice! Brethren! Rejoice! Open wide thy hungry eyes; drink deep the chalice of His love!
Salvation is at hand; redeem His gift; embrace it, cherish it, live it.
Christ is born---and…lives! Indeed! And, that truth is:
 
Christmas Magic!


IS:
 
Christmas Pleasures…
Enjoy! Each day’s life-treasures
  
Dare experience each adventure-event God’s goodness daily-offered
Dawn-dew, sunshine-cheer, thunderstorm, snowdrift-sculpt coiffured
 
“Magic” dances, verifying existence in one first flutter-flake
Beautiful as an emerald-sea’s white-foam receding-wake
 
Blanket-comfort pristine cover on created nearly-perfect world
Fantasy-delight imagination-fires every heart-young boy and girl
 
Stark surreal-subtle silver-shadows blend in dark-light mirage play
Sky peach-blush-hue hints portending enchanted fresh-fluff day
 
Chase dodging frozen-flakes upon warm tongue to tingle-cold
Crackle-fire, chocolate-warm, respite-offer---dare challenge-bold
 
Night-time, sweet love tight-hold before toasty-golden solace-flame
Blizzard howls lamented-cold; refuses any futile-effort to wild-tame
 
New Year calendar-itinerary evolves natural into sweetheart’s-time
Mid-winter anachronistic-thaw teases spring promise-flavored mime
 
Ice skates clatter, sleds rocket smooth, Christmas-delivered treasures, these
Valentine hearts, Ides of March, St. Patrick’s leprechaun-pleasures, please
 
Dawn seeks dusk extends shadows-long in awesome greening sight
Yellow-bright dresses with bunny-hops celebrate Easter-ham delight
 
Icy-freeze reluctant melts away; sun rises warm; winter-dissolved
Spring-time “reigns”! April-“showers”! Usher May “flowers”-evolved
 
Yellow-morels pop, birds’ nest, Red-ear sunfish initiate annual lake-spawn
I know a verdant grove; one hidden cove; glimpse a doe, fresh-spotted fawn
 
Silent salute! Reverent memory! Heart-tug band! Old Glory! Proud-unfurled!
Honor all courageous sacrificed-served; many times such redeemed-our-world
 
Diamond prepare, rake mound high, chalk line straight; too late for momentum-stall
Red-seamed white-horsehide sails in, bat-club cracks at umpire’s yell of-“Play ball!”
 
Kids frolic-swim in creek’s cool hole; Robbins, Cardinals, Turtle Doves hatched
Wrens nest in porch-hanging ferns; sore-muscled alfalfa workers rest, detached
 
Ancient Silver Maple dappled-shade satiates like a cold-drink lemonade
Join child-delighted marching band, flower-floats, Homecoming-parade
 
Fiery-tailed rockets explode ebony-night sky: Red! White! Blue! Designed-it
One far reach to Christmas-delights; yet, gold, indeed, is where thee may find it
 
Sophomore pretty-Junior athlete duet-croon National Anthem solemn tribute
Citizen! Attention-stand proud, nation-courage cannot one ever honest-refute
 
Any reason for a nation-worthy to party, celebrate collective focused fair Labor
U.S.A. gonfalon proudly waves: Faith! Family! Freedom! God’s honored favor!
 
Spy puff-cotton clouds traverse blue sky; westward brews lightning-thunderstorm
Deluge drops pelt choppy-surfaced lake; Flash! Crash! Echo! Wild summer-norm
 
First day of school arrives, too soon, intent to sure quell pure free-fun
September clouds fluffy-white; breathe deep of pleasure again begun
 
Red and gold, orange-yellow chase leapfrog wind-tag in Mother’s-game
Promised coming seasons-imaged every blessed year reflecting the same
 
Clean and oil fall-tradition weapons; anticipate white-tail venison-play
Turkey, cranberries, gravy-’taters, pumpkin-pie feast-Thanksgiving Day!
 
Anticipate soon-now unique geometric frozen-flake surprise arrival-gift
Christmas Joy for each all year, if adventure-event thee dare survival-sift
 
Spatter in: Happy Birthday! Anniversary! An anytime tasty bar-b-que!
Celebrate His life-gift with willing army or just a special-numbered few
 
Perhaps? The “Independent-Individual” survived around an untruth “envelope”
Simple is! As Simple does! Treasure-Pleasure! Happiness-lived! Full-scope!
 
“What others think of me, concerns not I”---trumps vacant, fleeting…“celebrity”
Crystal-blue contact, a firm handshake, true-bond respects purchased “integrity”
 
Those “Sacred”-secrets lifelong sought? Right before thy self-obfuscated sight
Courageous challenge! Deny any “boundary”! Live: Wish I may! Wish I might!
 
Then? Onward! Delight trek right through to Christmas Eve special-celebration
Alas! Serendipity! Each day be Christmas! Comes His hallowed-Revelation!
 
Amen!
 
Merry Christmas!
