Something I wrote in 2012
The Joy of Christmas…let me count them one by one…so many, you’ll be sleeping before I’m done.
There’s holly and cedar, rosemary and Red Birds…
Paper Whites and Poinsettias , Red Roses and Tartan skirts…
Stockings of red, green and beyond….bows and bells….oh my, what great fun…
Candles in the windows, sleighs by the stoop, hot coco and mama’s homemade soup….
Snowflakes and snow-balls for some there will be…alas, just rain and wind I see…
Chestnuts by the fire…cranberries strung above…and a toast to the one you love…
Pretty paper, pretty ribbon, pretty cards from far and near…
Silent night and happy dreams for those you hold dear…
Chocolate, red velvet, coconut and caramel tarts…
Snickerdoodles and Thumbprints, all tugging at our hearts…
Memories and flashbacks, from days carved in stone…
History indeed, but never really gone…
Carols for the neighbor…prayers for our Troops…
Christmas trees of all description-Presents all around-everything Merry and Bright…not like in Bethlehem…
Look into your heart-and find the tiny spark-turn up the flame and light the way….for yet another Christmas Day.
God Bless and may we keep the spirit of Christmas always in our hearts.
