A poem about December

It fills my soul with plentiful light
It makes me feels close to God, even though I question his existence
It reminds me of the sanctity of friendship
It forces upon me appreciation of the plentiful bounties of life
It guides me to ignore the clouded temptation of pointless material offerings 
It makes me smile

It teaches me the truths of giving over receiving
It is colourful, wonderful, joyful
It is hope, fun, love and peace
It is all things to all, yet a different thing to each of us
It is the time of Christ, of Christmas, of carols and of caring
It is here!
