Nicholas Gordon, in his poem 'Christmas A Time For Love And Fun' has illustrated the significance of celebrating Christmas as well as the usual mode of its celebration. He asks everyone to celebrate the festival in real spirit. According to Merchant, the true essence of celebrating Christmas is in giving out your heat to others, making the time special for them. It is meant to flourish and expand the feelings of love and togetherness in everyone. Sharing love and showering your care and attention on others is what God expects you to do in the festival season.
Christmas A Time For Love And Fun
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to reshape souls and roots and skies,
A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun,
Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs
Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done,
Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies,
It's time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won
For lack of ears to listen to her cries,
Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run
To adult life, where joy or sadness lies.
It's time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none,
Good or twisted, ignorant or wise.
Christmas is a time for love and fun,
A time to give your heart to everyone.
