Another bit of poetry for you today, this time by William Arthur Ward.
Christmas
Christmas is more than a time of music, merriment and mirth;
It is a season of meditation, mangers and miracles.
Christmas is more than a time of gaiety, greenery and gifts;
It is a season of wonder, worship and wiseman.
Christmas is more than a time of tinsel, trees and toys;
It is a season of preparation, prayers and peace.
Christmas is more than a time of festivities, family and friends;
It is a season of generosity, gladness and gratitude.
Christmas is more than a time of carols, cards and candy;
It is a season of dedication, direction and decision.
Christmas is more than Santa, stockings and surprises
It is Christ, care and concern.

Oh Fiona- preparation and prayers. Peace. I'm reading you straight after Betty's Pause, and that is no coincidence, I think. I know what the message is for me this Pause!
Lovely.

It is indeed! I'm so sorry I've somehow missed your pauses thus far, they are beautiful! I love the alliteration!
