| Over the centuries the Christian festival of the celebration of Christ has lost much of its religious element as it has morphed into becoming a convenient date for mass marketing and the consumption of excess food, drink and material goods to a now global audience. But look below the glossy veneer of commercialism and we find a truer meaning, a moral message and guidance that whilst we may all want it watered down a little in these more secular times does contain some truths and principles for us all to enjoy better lives and better relationships with those around us. In this volume of fifty poems our classic poets bring us everything from the tried and trusted view to the irreverent but mainly focus on their faith that can rejoice at this festival and makes us all part of the human race, its ideals and its joys. 1 - Fifty Shades of Christmas - An Introduction 2 - The Nativity by Henry Vaughan 3 - Nativity by John Donne 4 - Wondrous Sight For Men and Angels by Ann Griffiths 5 - Angels From the Realms of Glory by James Montgomery 6 - New Prince New Pomp by Robert Southwell 7 - The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 8 - The Nativity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Christopher Smart 9 - Christmas Carol by Sara Teasdale 10 - A Nativity by Rudyard Kipling 11 - A Christmas Carol by Aubrey De Vere 12 - Carol by Ben Jonson 13 - A Christmas Carol by Samuel Taylor Coleridge 14 - A Christmas Carol by G K Chesterton 15 - The Beautiful Mother by Jacopone da Todi 16 - Upon Christ His Birth by Sir John Suckling 17 - An Ode of the Birth of Our Saviour by Robert Herrick 18 - A Carol.
