Christmas is a time for love.
Universal.
A time to feel it, acknowledge it, say it.

“Merry” is too weak a word.
That’s “cheerful,” easier to feel, easier to say.

I do not take it easy.
I feel deep.

It’s a time of giving.
I never know
what to give.
Token gifts
allow us to give
without much thought,
just satisfy a shallow sharing.

Love is deep.
I share love.

I want it to be Christmas
all year long.
