Remembrances of Christmas Past

With apologies to those of you who already seen this, below are some of my Christmas memories as a kid. Happy Holidays, Everyone!



Remembrances of Christmas Past


The crunchier the snow the colder the air.

The month dragged  i  n  t  e  r  m  i  n  a  b  l  y.

Discovering Santa's stash early
                       guaranteed disappointment.

The closer the holiday
the more cookies and goodies to be found.

Midnight Mass and a choir singing
Silent Night
                       invited
                                     droopy
                                                   eyelids.

Waking to the aroma of roasting turkey
     produced pure olfactory pleasure.

But the house jam full of family and friends
outmatched even a stack of toys beneath the tree.

May only good memories surround you this season!
