The Golden Christmastide by Joel Benton
Poem celebrating Christmas tide with imagery of Bethlehem and Nazareth. It calls all ages to join in joy and charity and to cast off worry as bells toll. The verses evoke holly, mistletoe, Yule log, boar's head and songs, urging unity beyond class or creed.
Christmas Reminder Amid Gentle Wisdom
A reflective note contrasts Christmas joy with Christ’s birthday, urging acts of happiness as the true gift. A playful aside features a talking mutt and a “Wise-One” who notes that talk can be costly unless it spans a long distance.
