Counting hastens one’s anticipation to an even which adds thrill and intensities the degree of joy reached during the actual celebration.

Fifty is a golden number,
Christmas is an eternal celebration.
People are finite beings,
God is a supernatural and eternal Creator,
These four, the number, the celebration,
The people and most especially
The Creator are the most
Important elements of Christmas.
Without one of those,
Christmas is meaningless,
Starting today, as we start to count,
Please remember that
As we get closer to the Jubilee,
Each day that passes by
Is one beat of your heart,
Getting closer to the peak
Of the joy at all times,
Next to the fun at new year,
As we start counting now,
We can feel the increasing
Intensity of the power,
To miss more and more,
Christmas and its message.
The fun, hopefulness, and truth,
Tomorrow is the 49th,
Minus one everyday,
Makes the journey fulfilling,
And the joy more ecstatic,
Merry Christmas, fifty days earlier!

    I like the message in this article. I much prefer that than the commercialism of Christmas. Good work.
