Christmas Memories

Accidental Poet



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
