Hi Mike, this is a sad poem you've written about a mom and son not having enough for Christmas. I enjoyed reading about the tree. Sometimes, it's just the simple things that can be the most beautiful.

Comment from Aussie
The truth is really out there. I remember making decorations out of newspaper, we never had a real tree. My dad brought home a ham, only because his boss gave the workers all a ham for Christmas. We had canned peaches for sweets and dad made me a toy soldier, painted him and made the legs and arms jointed so the soldier could dance on a sheet of plywood. Ah, those were the days of Christmas real.
Happy and Holy Christmas to you friend. XXK.

Comment from Bill O'Bier
What a beautiful Christmas story. The holidays are like a tonic for our souls. They move us to think of others and direct our thoughts to sharing. They give us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the important people and thing around us. May your world be filled with warmth and good cheer this holiday season, and throughout the year.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well & written Christmas poem. We only believe it when it happens to us. When we hit rock bottom and suddenly there happens a miracle we know there is a God who knows about our struggles.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This is the kind of Christmas Story that makes my heart go bumpity bump! I remember the first time I couldn't afford anything for my children and I had worked so long and hard for nothing. It was a humiliation for sure but my children said they did not care. They didn't need Christmas presents to love me and their dad. Loved this story a lot. xoxo deborah
