"The Starlight Night" -Everything in this poem seemed to remind me of Christmas, which reminded me of how much I want to be home!

"Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!"

When I see stars at this time of year it reminds me of Christmas lights. This is the first Christmas that I was not able to help put up lights and the tree.

"Down in the dim woods the diamond delves! the elves ears!"

Elves reminded me of Santa. Then I thought of how long it has been since I have put cookies out for him. I'm thinking that I'll put some out this year."Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows."

The reason for the season is Jesus. Sometimes I feel that He is forgotten in the whirl of Santa, presents, and decorating.
