Christmas Memories

 
 

Christmas is such a special time.

Just filled with pleasant thoughts.

The things we did to prepare for Christmas,

And sharing gifts we'd bought.

I remember walking in the forest

 To find that perfect Christmas tree.

The fun and excitement we had,

Filled with Christmas glee.

Not just any tree would do,

It had to be just so.

The right height for the room

So all the lights would show.

The tinsel was bright and shiny,

The lights were all aglow;

Gifts all wrapped in Christmas paper,

With pretty shiny bows.

Mom was in the kitchen,

Baking all her special treats;

Each one their special dish,

To make the meal complete.

I still remember the applesauce cake,

The aroma was so sweet.

But the fresh coconut cake,

Was my favorite treat.

There was a fruity Jell-o salad,

With apples, oranges and nuts,

That gave the coconut cake

That special added touch.

We always had goose and dressing,

And giblet gravy, too.

And of course the cranberry sauce,

To leave that out - why, that would never do!

Mom always planned for us,

Each one their favorite dish,

Of course the coconut cake,

Would always be my pick.

At the close of Christmas Day,

We’d gathered round to sing

Songs of gratitude and thankfulness,

To our Provider, Lord and King.
