This is absolutely your best effort! This acrostic really puts Christ back in Christmas. Takes away from the commercials and the hype from the millions of venders preying on the unsuspecting public.
You are gaining so much respect here on FS, keep submitting your thoughts!

Thanks Irish, I really appreciate your encouraging comments, your perspective, and continued support. I never really saw how big this opportunity would grow, as time goes on, the spell weaves itself in and out of our field(s), and when we look back and behind, we can see how it left a silvery trail; we can perceive and put it into words in such an infinite possibility of combinations, that in order to get the "right" combination, we gotta sweat a little blood. He sweat some for us, so we should rejoice in our suffering. Writei back and tell me what you remember about the silvery trails. Badger~

A nice way to present this Christmas poem.
I like the use of different colors to highlight CHRISTMAS.
"Seeing our cost
There on the cross."
Absolutely.
Nice job!

Best wishes for the contest. Sorry 'dove' didn't rhyme with the rest of your acrostic because it was a great poem. Not to worry, your words hit the spot and I wish you a Happy Christmas. I don't think your dove will meet the criteria.

Actually, dove was there to rhyme with the first two lines, being the odd ninth line, and the only one with seven syllables. Thank you very much for the good review. Blessings, Badger

Can you change it around before the contest finishes?

reply by the author on 09-Dec-2016

Yes, but I do not see the need to.

reply by Aussie on 10-Dec-2016

Only because of the contest rules my friend. It doesn't rhyme, therefore it rules you out.

reply by the author on 10-Dec-2016

But, it does rhyme, READ IT AGAIN

I appreciate your comments, but I think that you need to do a little more studying of the format before you say something that you are going to be embarrassed for saying, IN THE END

Splendid presentation to underscore the message that Jesus is the reason for the season - a fact that is so often submerged beneath all of the marketing and materialism.

So very, very good. And for once, the Christmas story is not about gifts but rather about the real story of Christmas, the birth of Jesus.
The presentation her is really great in both the colours and the message.
Well done, Badger

A very magnificently written poem. You have really captured the true meaning of Christmas. You have also done it with great style, beauty and grace. The words flow beautifully down the page and your presentation is very festive to say the least.
Best of luck in the contest.

Yes, the rhymes enrich the common acrostic, and the faith poem follows the Christian doctrine, and though it makes Allah breathe fire, I thinks the writing is excellent. Kidding.

This is very nice, and by using a dove works very well. It leaves a feeling of gentleness. The parallel between the words and the subject are perfect.

A beautiful acrostic, visually as well as I. Message and content. Tying Good Friday's event into Christmas was unique and it worked well with your message.
