About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Hospitality means the spirit of generosity, kindness, and the joy of giving. Add it to Christmas, the holiday season becomes a memorable one. For example, I can never forget the Christmas party a friend gave to a whole bunch of us several years ago. This was important because among us were old people who lived alone and several couples who were away from their families.
Christmas hospitality extends beyond family circles to embrace neighbors, colleagues, and even those who may be alone during the holiday season. This helps combat feelings of isolation and spreads a message of goodwill.
During this festive time, people open their hearts and homes to family, friends, and even strangers, creating an atmosphere of warmth and connection. This improves the feelings of belonging and togetherness among people, especially when the aromas of delights from the kitchen waft through the air as the host prepares a feast.
At the heart of hospitality is the principal of service, be it around Christmas time or any other place or event. A good host, at any time, understands the importance of empathy, patience, and excellent communication skills. The same goes for the host in a Christmas setting. This is because Christmas hospitality encapsulates the essence of the season—a time for love, compassion, and reaching out to others.
