Christmas was always a special time
In the country so long ago
Firelight danced on windowpanes
As hearts began to glow.
As a child, I yet remember
Gathering around the tree
Grandpa's old time stories
Filled every face with glee.
S
avory smells drifted through the air
In a heavenly atmosphere
Voices cracked with happiness
As Christmas day drew near.
Homemade
pies
aligned
the
shelves
Made
by
Grandma's
aging
hands
And
something
spiritual
touched
us
all
As
the
Yuletide
swept
the
land.
T'
was an
ole
fashioned
country
Christmas
Blessed
with
lots
of
Christmas
snow
Sleigh
rides
for
the
young
at
heart
And
hanging
mistletoe.
Now
my
heart
fills
up
with
gladness
As
the
season
brings
its
cheer
When
these
thoughts
of
mine
go
back
in
time
To
recapture
yesteryear.
