Under the Mistletoe: Christmas Time Collections of Poetry

By Norma Nickerl

Christmas. The favorite time of the year. From my collection over the years, I have put together my favorite ones to share with my readers. It has romance, laughter, and joy but also heartbreaking memories that made me think twice about what love truly is.

Count Your Blessings

Count your blessings,
be happy with what God has given you.

The more kindness you give,
the more you shall receive . . . with love!

Dont envy others,
and dont bother about what others might think about you.

Count your blessings,
and may this Christmas fill your heart with peace.

Norma Nickerl

I am mixed Latina with two boys and a great husband. I have always been unique, open minded, and do not like to judge others. I am friendly, loves family life, cooking, music, dancing, romance—sometimes a little too much. Like many women, I have my ups and downs, pain, mistrusts, back stabbers. But I learn to love myself and find someone to love me for me, nothing but me. Much was taken away from me, and I swore I would never let that happen again. It’s nice to be loved with all my faults, which is not easy! But I love 100 percent back, loyal and caring. So, ladies, hope you feel and understand my poetry. I am proud of all women, and I dedicate this book to you. Stand proud.
