When I was little Christmas was a magic time
I got shivers as the decorations started to appear
All the silver and gold the reds and greens how they shine

Even the special ornaments we made, our mom held dear

Sometimes my memories wish the olden days could be now
The homemade and passed down meant so much when shared
Popcorn and cranberries threaded and wrapped around
Pretty lights strung from branches so beautiful I just stood and stared

Today we don't put up a tree but don't worry I'm not sad
I can still see the trees and lights from years gone by
And know how lucky we were and grateful for all we had
Memories from olden days if you see a tear its from happiness I cry

Happy Holidays, y'all

Trillium, thank you.  And I love your name!  The flower is so tiny and so beautiful and the fragrance out of this world.  I only found them once and will never forget.  

Pilgrimage, thank you.  Some memories are easy to live with.

Christmas memories...smiling at the thoughts.  I remember most of all, when I was little, crawling under tree, taking my glasses off--and being lost in a world of fuzzy colored lights and crisp pine.

Thanks for envoking that memory.

Thank you, my Butterfly kid.  I remember the year all of the nuts for the stockings got burned up.  Either we are very neat or very careless.  Glad you got back for a visit.  Love and hugs,  Mom
