Celebrate! Poem by Nirupa Narine

It crosses my mind
What makes Christmas such a wonderful holiday?
Is it the gifts?
Is it the decoration?
Is it the food?
No, it's the togetherness of family and friends
It's the joy of being together and celebrating today
for if tomorrow may never come.

Old or young, rich or poor, we celebrate this day.
We must celebrate and enjoy not just the gifts,
or the fancy food or to show-off your decorations,
Celebrate for the togetherness that we have today
And for how fortunate we are to have one another.
