Where Are You Christmas?


Where Are You Christmas
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs









Where are you Christmas?
Are you in what I drink?
Are you in the burned-out light
on my tree, I think?

Are you in the neck tie,
Or the sox too large?
Are you in the stores
where they add a surcharge?

Are you hiding in boxes
under my tree?
Do I hear you singing
with gusto and glee?

Where are you Christmas?
I want to know.
Do I hear you speaking
with every Ho Ho Ho?

Where are you Christmas?
Please come near.
We want to greet you,
We want to cheer.

Where are you Christmas
on Christmas morn?
Alas, we have found you,
for a baby has been born.

There’s more that seizes us
at Christmas time.
Good news, joyful sounds
as each bell chimes.

We thank you Christmas
for the love you bestow.
It’s for every woman and man,
every Mary, Jose and Joe.

I've Got a Feeling about Christmas


I’ve Got a Feeling about Christmas
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs









I’ve got a feeling about Christmas.

It’s a feeling of great hope,
much joy and happiness.
It brings many smiles to my face,
and the sounds all around
tickle my ears.

I’ve got a feeling about Christmas.

Oh yes, I love the presents
And the anticipation of receiving,
Yet I love the giving,
And the smiles and giggles,
The ohs and ahs.

I’ve got a feeling about Christmas.

Christmas does something for me
Like no other season.
Hope is stronger,
Friends are more cherished,
Love is announced more often

I’ve got a feeling about Christmas.

My faith is enlarged at Christmas.
My eyes see more of God,
My heart sings of promise
And redemption
And redemption is offered
To all mankind.

Redemption – what an
interesting word at Christmas.
Reclaiming, refurbishment,
restoration, recovery.

Yes indeed …
I’ve got a feeling about Christmas,
And it’s all good.

I'm into Christmas


I’m Into Christmas
© 2018 by P Michael Biggs


I’m into Christmas.
I love the fuss
and muss,
the lights at night,
and the whole Christmas thing.

The music pleases me,
the trees delight me,
I drink coffee and tea
When it’s ten degrees
I like the whole Christmas thing

The gifts delight,
I love the colorful lights.
Hope takes flight
in the middle of the quiet.
I like the whole Christmas thing

Joy is always near.
We are all full of cheer.
Can you hear
the tiny hooves of reindeer?
I like the whole Christmas thing

I’m a kid at heart
It’s like a restart
I’ll play my part
I’m not an old f--t
I like the whole Christmas thing
