Christmas Past

As I think about Christmas
Fond thoughts come to me
Of the Christmas’s past
How different will this be?

They started with winter
With snow on the ground
The building of snowmen
And children playing around

There was fun on sledges
And snowball fights
The joys of the outside
And all its delights

As Christmas approached
We decorated the tree
It was the start of Christmas
For my family and me

The Christmas tree lights
Gave the tree a warm glow
Paper-chains that we made
Were hung up for show

A house now decorated
For that festive touch
Had the signs of Christmas
That are loved so much

The feelings of excitement
On Christmas Eve night
Waking up in the morning
With squeals of delight

The fun and the laughter
At games that we played
The traditional dinner
That mum and dad made

These are the memories
That are special to me
New memories are now made
With our own family

Now what I wish for
Not just for me but for you
Is a Christmas of happy memories
For each one of you too

Merry Christmas Everyone!
