The memories of Christmas

At this time of year

Are filled with the thoughts

That brings laughter and tear.

The tree with its lights,

The smell of the greens

Remind us of Christmases-

Past family scenes.

Shiny gift bicycles

Sparkling and new,

Dolls in their wrappings

Wishes come true.

Visits by family,

Meals shared with joy,

Taking the moment to show

That new toy.

Sitting with grandpa

Before the bright fire,

Wrapped in the blanket,

Good thoughts did inspire.

Christmas Eve service

So late in the night,

Getting us ready for

Christmas morn light.

Birth of the Savior

In song and word,

Telling the story,

Let Good News be heard.

Carols and tinsel,

Cookies and punch

Leftover turkey

To be next day’s lunch.

All the aromas,

All the old sounds,

Watching for snowflakes

The wind blows around.

Those are the memories

That will never cease.

They bring us a warmth

That will bring us God’s

                                    Peace,
