what is the meaning of the old man
wearing red and walking in the snow
coca cola.
what is the meaning of the tree
of the snow and of the fires
victorian britain.
what do the elves mean
and the reindeers too
absolutely nothing.
what is the meaning many see
what is the only menaing now
family and presents.
what is the real reason?
why do we celebrate?
jesus.

You juxtaposed images nicely; perhaps punctuation at the end of the second lines, to differentiat even more fully between image and current meaning, would have strengthened the comparisons. Thanks for taking the time to enter. I did enjoy reading this one.

true
people always seem to forget the true meaning of christmas. -
Thanks for entering the contest. You focus in on several key images and contrast them nicely. The stanzas might be more effective with full punctuation (as you did in the last stanza) to separate questions from responses. And please check 'menaing'; it doesn't say what you want and weakens the poem.
This is a good beginning; please consider polishing and revising over the next couple of weeks.
