Counting those days to
that one significant date, with 
fascination or anticipation 
we all can’t seem to wait. 
 
Wishes and prayers, one in 
the same, we may bristle with 
excitement at the mention  
of his name. 
 
The reason for the season. Logic 
and lore shrouded in mystery, 
questioned by faith, myth, or 
legend and history. 
 
The wonder of his existence, 
spoken through the years, 
becomes even more exaggerated 
as Christmas day nears. 
 
A celebration of sorts for 
the gifts we receive, all
depending on whether and 
what you believe.
