Format compliant offering containing a Great image. While it is nice to give and receive Christmas Gifts with great joy and delight ~ the real gift is our Sinfulness forgiveness due to the Birth of Jesus Christ. Not to preach but it's become something of an afterthought these days.

Hiya Raul,
I counted the syllables and sure enough, you have 3-5-3of them, qualifying this for a contest. I like your subject matter. The greatest Christmas gift is God's gift of salvation. Merry Christmas -Parson

It is as you said above all for the children and grandchildren etc. But Christmas is more than that because at least for my family. It is the joyful relatives' meeting from anywhere and all the surrounding Christmas games and jokes to be together again.Your 3/5/3 writing prompt entry is perfectly set within its syllables counting and its gifts' giving narrative storylined content. Good Job.

This 3-5-3, Christmas, has the proper formatting and reminds us that the season of giving is here and the time of receiving goes with it.

I love the presentation of this little poem -- you have an artist's eye, IMO.

But I am not sure I agree with the message of your poem, unless the most important gift is the one we are rejoicing in... The Saviour's birth.

But technically your poem is perfect in syllable count, and content is only something we can comment upon, not base the review upon. Five stars for excellent crafting! Nicely done.

Merry Christmas.

    You are very welcome. The only other thing I might mention is the way you have written it, it is Christmas doing the rejoicing, but it's really us, right?(Christmas is the 'subject'.) I might suggest that second line could be something like: "...here so we enjoy..." Wishing you rich blessings, and good luck in the booth. :)

I know that there will be many happy faces come that morning.

The picture brings back memories of The Santa Clause movies.

I enjoyed the read.

My best wishes for you with the contest.

I certainly think that's what the children still believe, or thousands of former Santa Clauses would have flooded the Christmas month jobs market, and so many people would be out of work that the retail businesses would suffer, but parents would get better deals on toys, which would please those already rejoicing children.
(As I said earlier, the rapacious children probably haven't changed, so my speculation is neither here nor there. Thanks, though for the food for thought.)
