Do you celebrate Hanukkah?

Wrapping gifts and Christmas trees
December’s holiday spirit’s here.
Candy, cookies, a Christmas goose
And lot’s of Christmas cheer.

But others see a different scene
Of candles lit on differing days
A beautiful miracle described
Different celebration, different ways.

And others worship
With a prayer and fast.
As they remember
Sacrifices of the past.

Streams of green and red
Decorate the shopping mall.
But Christians and others know
God truly loves us all.

{Whatever you celebrate, and however you celebrate it–enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa or however you observe this winter holiday, have a good one and many more. Be safe, and encourage someone today.)
You are welcome to keep a copy of it. I wrote it as a gift to my friends, including the ones I have yet to meet.
