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 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.

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.
