Bright lights adorn my little tree
The garland draped, the stockings hung;
They hold no magic for me now
As once they did when I was young
And Christmas was a cherished time
Of warmth and hope and joy for me
No mind what wonders Santa brought:
The greatest gift was family.
To hear those feigned parental groans
When roused at dawn by happy cries,
That secret smile you’d share at me,
Still brushing dreams from sleepy eyes.

But now it’s been so many years
Since Christmas time has felt this way
For when you died, so did the heart
Of that enchanted holiday –
I’d give my soul for one more chance
To live the times that I have missed,
Instead of chasing Christmas ghosts
Through memory’s insubstantial mists.
And so, this night like all the rest
My thoughts will lie with you above –
Your stockings hung beside my own,
And filled with my undying love.

You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end.

All memories are bittersweet my friend. Yours seem to be acrid enough to melt the tongue. I am sorry for your pain and loss my friend.

Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Xmas is a wonderful time of year, but one where you also remember lost loved ones who aren't here to share in the festivities. I always remember those who've passsed, I can't help it either.
How old are you? Got kids? Maybe when you have kids the joy of the holidays will be filled with the joy of their exitement..
Honey Xmas ((hugs)) from one who understands..

Reach inside your heart, that is the greatest gift you can bestow. Merry Christmas..
