Precious Moments Christmas Decors by napaolm
As the Christmas season looms just around the corner, and celebrated each and every year, everyone is busy in decorating their houses with lots of Christmas decorations that give the necessary colors and feel and Christmas lights that provides the beautiful shine and colors for this special season that comes once and every end of a year.
Lots of Christmas decorations are placed and arranged by people from different countries around the world that celebrate Christmas. In the United States, the most common Christmas Decoration is the Christmas Tree, followed by the mistletoe and Christmas lights.
The Christmas Tree could come in a variety of height, color and even materials. In fact, before plastic was discovered and invented, Christmas Trees used to come from real trees, particularly from Pine trees. Nowadays, Christmas Trees can be made of real pine trees or plastic depending on the person's preference. The usual Christmas tree is often decorated with different varieties of ornaments which are usually ball ornaments and shaped like candy canes but other ornamental shapes are very widely used by a lot of people these days. Topping off the arrangement of a Christmas tree is by putting the Christmas star or an angel at the top of the tree.
Another Christmas decoration is the mistletoe, which is traditionally popular as a Christmas decoration that is hanged usually on doorways and entrances. Mistletoe usually bears fruit during winter which is probably one reason why it has been associated with the Christmas season. A hanging mistletoe has also become a popular novelty Christmas decoration because of the "fun" and popular belief that if two people meet under a hanging mistletoe, they should kiss one another, given that one is a man and one is a woman. This tradition originated in Scandinavia where the presence of a mistletoe as a "plant of peace" was used to make warring factions declare truce and make spouses who are in a bitter fight or quarrel kiss and make-up.
Another decoration that gives more vibrancy and perhaps the most meaningful recognition for the true meaning of Christmas is the Nativity Scene. The Nativity Scene is an inanimate representation of how Jesus Christ was born into this world as a man. Together with His parents Mary and Joseph, the Nativity Scene decoration also include recognizable characters like the Three Wise Men, and other extras such as the number of shepherds and their animals, usually sheep, donkeys and cows.
The Mini Nativity from Precious Moments combines the Nativity Scene with the popular Precious Moments trademark of tear drop-shaped eyed characters. One of these items includes an ornamental decoration of Joseph and Mary holding Baby Jesus made from bisque porcelain. Another set showcases three separate figurines of Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus in a manger. The third set from the Precious Moments Nativity collection include all the characters including Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus, the three wise men and the shepherds and their animals.
Other Christmas decorations from Precious Moments include Precious Moments characters portraying different poses related to Christmas such as opening Christmas presents next to the fireplace, making a snowman and putting a Mickey Mouse hat on its head. Other known Christmas portrayals also include depictions of The Nutcracker where a Precious Moments girl holds a doll which closely resembles The Nutcracker Prince.

Criticism needed on rough draft?
Need some criticism please...if you don't like something please tell me why...if you do like something please tell me why...etc.
Laughter from the corner
Flowing through the house
Bruises and tears
But kisses always made things better
These are the things I remember
A little raggedy doll
Curled up in her pudgy arms
Bedtime stories
And Kisses goodnight
These are the things I can’t forget
Little dresses like sunshine
Smiles that lit up my heart
Her soft hands in mine
When I bent over to dance
These are the things I won’t forget
Her fifth birthday
Sesame Street cake and balloons
The one she would never have
The one only in my mind
The things I remember
After my Baby Girl was taken from me
Okay for starters, add grammer, commas and periods, things like that, and dont capitalize the first word in every line, that screams amateur. In the stanzas with four lines alternate like this:
Laughter from the corner,
flowing through the house,
bruises and tears.
But kisses always made things better.
Also what happened to the girl, you dont have to come out and say it, but leave hints in your poem, if she died an accident on a swing set as an example, mention it, and evolve it as your center piece of imagery. Thats for starters, fix that if you want, repost it and we can go from there. Glad to help!!!
