Xmas Past

Christmas Past

The festive season is with us again just as every year.
Presents adorn the living room and faces beam a cheer.
Glasses filled to the brim toasts made to everyone.
This is also the time of year we really enjoy the fun.

The tree is in the corner it's put there every time.
Decorations are fabulous it is looking so divine.
Children have sent their letters to dear old Santa Claus.
They are anticipating the Christmas morn that draws.

The special day arrives that we have all been waiting for.
The children are up first with toys strewn upon the floor.
Parcel wrappings lying all around revealing for all to see.
The present really wanted was sent to you from me.

Aromas from the kitchen tell us the turkey's nearly done.
Christmas pudding is also there with a sixpence for everyone.
We sit and rest to reflect on the food we have just eaten.
On these special days the cooking just cannot be beaten.

Time has moved on and those memories are in the past.
For us, all of these precious moments will always last
Our children have now grown, their hearts still filled with
laughter.
The joy they have experienced will stay forever after.
