Christmas Memories
My calendar says
It’s the month of December
Christmas memories
I’m inclined to remember
From the days of my youth
Priceless memories I hold
Like yesterday they seem
Nuggets of treasured gold
Freshly fallen snow
The bright sunny day after
Playing in the snow
And the gathering of laughter
Multi-colored lights
All over town
The Christmas songs
A joyous seasonal sound
Riding thirty miles in the car
To spend Christmas
With Grandma and Grandpa
Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who miss us
Now the stockings are filled
Santa Clause has come and gone
And at the top of the stairs
Waiting are eager little ones
Family exchanging gifts
Train sets and flying aces
Children that sing of delight
Smiles on everyone’s faces
And Christmas Mass
Where talk of Jesus\'s birth
His teachings of God’s love
As he walked upon this Earth
My Christmas spirit
Alive and well this December
With Christmas memories
I fondly remember
