Christmas Past !!
EACH CHRISTMAS I REMEMBER
THE ONES OF LONG AGO;
I SEE OUR MANTELPIECE ADORNED
WITH STOCKINGS IN A ROW.
EACH CHRISTMAS FINDS ME DREAMING
OF DAYS THAT USED TO BE,
WHEN WE HID PRESENTS HERE AND THERE,
FOR ALL THE FAMILY.
EACH CHRISTMAS I REMEMBER
THE FRAGRANCE IN THE AIR,
OF ROASTING TURKEY AND MINCE PIES
AND COOKIES EVERYWHERE.
EACH CHRISTMAS FINDS ME LONGING
FOR CHRISTMAS NOW PAST,
AND I AM BACK IN CHILDHOOD
AS LONG AS MEMORIES LAST. . .
LOVE YA, ~Barbara

I always loved Christmas
nice poem! xxoo
I miss the old Christmases, my parents never even wrapped our gifts, said Santa didn\'t wrap, lol, and we sure didn\'t get as spoiled as the kids today. A totally different kind of Christmas for sure.
The kids are soooo dang spoiled.
Barbara, it is so nice to hear of your Christmas memories.
xoxoxo
I really do have alot of moments at this time of the yr when I go back to yrs past. It seems like alot of times it was just simpler.
