The Brightest Star
The Brightest Star
With Christmas comes a mass of joys
in forms of packages and toys.
But beneath the thrill of homemade cakes
lies the joy that families make.
Each holding on for a short while
the love contained in a simple smile.
Above all and best by far
is the glow made by each new star.
The brightest being not up high
but usually right before our eye.

Nice
This is a wonderful and original take at defining the “Christmas spirit” as it’s called. I’m not a Christian but I was certainly raised Catholic. As an adult my wife and I are most closely associated with Neopaganism and so we teach the kids about Yule. They are still showered with material things of course but I need them to grow up connected to nature and the seasons. The winter solstice is a time for collation and renewal and letting go or settling old grievances.
This is beautiful,
Tim
