Excellent use of words that captures the feeling of Christmas. I like how you emphasize the true meaning of Christmas and encourage others to be more giving. "And try not to grumble" is a great line, it reminds the reader to think of others and focus on what we have.

This Christmas poem is written really well. I enjoyed reading it.

Put your worries on a shelf,
your neighbor shan't be faulted
for he that humbleth himself
shall surely be exalted

Well said,
Mary

This seasonal poem, A New Star, is a great use of the yule tide story to connect us with our world today. The hope of a desperate world still remains with the Son of God.

What I like best is the cadence of the poem...the tempo that sounds almost like music.... The alliteration is nice too...
A very nice Christmas poem..

I like the premise of your poem and the message of "offer plenty in everything you do"...your faith is evident but also your inner kindness, wanting to inspire others to share love and peace. A wonderful uplifting message at this time of year, when so many are down on their luck.
Nicely written.
