It's that time of year again
Where the magic all begins
People exchanging gifts with love
And families gathering
After a long, hard year
But what I love most
About this festive period
Is when my whole family
Gathers round a table
Exchanging the latest
News on their lives
While feasting on the
Wonderful feast
On the faces of the adults
Are wrinkles of true joy
As they talk about their
Adult life stuff
While laughing up a storm
But my side is filled
With laughter of true joy
As we discuss the latest gossips
And tease and poke each other
Christmas is a magical time
A time like no other
With seasons greetings in the air
A period where one shows
True joy

Very awesome write! I loved how you ended it with the title lol. The flow was a bit choppy at times, but overall the poem was great. You incorporated your emotions, exactly what i was looking for. The words used enhanced the poem and its meaning. I'm glad Christmas time makes you so happy.

I was expecting this to turn sad to be honest. Was a pleasure to see it didn't great write.

why would a festive poem be a sad one?
i feel that if you truly love the season, you shouldn't too much negative thoughts about it, right?
thanks for the comment!
