'TWAS AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
Big soft driven snowflakes come slowly drifting down
Young ones peeking through the shutters in a holiday gown
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Sleigh bells blissfully ringing, moving leisurely in new snow
Children happily seated singing carols joyously as they go
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Mr. Snowman standing tall looking upward to the sky
Hoping to be the first young one to hear the reindeer cry
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
In the kitchen the smell of goodies blessed by Mom's fame
Topped with sugar plum treats all to grandmother's acclaim
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
In the big room the tree glowing with the trimmings and light
As its image is shadowed in the window's bright moonlight
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Seeing Grandpa hide by the tree holding presents to his ear
Next comes the gentle shaking carefully guessing so sincere
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Watching Dad stack the wood artistically and stoke the fire
Then hang all those stockings while we would all conspire
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Young ones snug in bed on the eve's perfect clear blue night
Others moving quietly to see if old Santa Claus is in sight
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
That early Christmas morn as gift wrappings become a blur
From Mom and Dad's upstairs bedroom still not even a stir
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
Now comes the traditional festive Dinner much to our delight
Afterwards that needed nap and to all a peaceful good night
'Twas An Old Fashioned Christmas
How peaceful were those days just to return to yesteryear
Hearing Mom read the Christmas story much to our cheer
'Twas an old fashioned Christmas
My Old Fashioned Christmas Wish
To be a child again, just for today, to turn back the clock to those happy years of yesterday. A time of the simple way of life, a life chock full of joy and happiness. A time when my young mind would drift off into that happy dream world of make-believe.
To return to that "Old Fashioned Christmas" when Christmas still held the meaning of "peace on earth, good will to men."
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." (Luke 2:13-14)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
