Simple Christmas Memories

Memories of Christmases past are treasures I intend to hold onto.....Growing up in a large family, with two loving parents....Christmas was always magic, even when times were tough....


Poem Artwork

 

Tree always far from perfect,
One side had branches too few,
But we never saw a single flaw
For children never do!
Lights and garland old and worn,
Seen better days its true ,
But they sparkled in our eyes
As if they were brand new!
Wishing for things we never got,
Contented all the same,
With all the children in the world,
We were happy that Santa came!
Mom and Dad and seven of us
Gathered round our Christmas tree.
And even when times were really tough
We were filled with Christmas glee!
Always plenty of turkey and sweets,
To share with family and friends,
And I’d give everything I have
For Christmas like that again!

Sounds familiar. Wishing was half the fun and even if they didn't come true there was no disappointment. Patrick

Love this one Annabel. My wife would so love to have a christmas like she did as a child. With the children all grown and families spread apart, we can only dream of those days and cherish them in our memories. May God bless you every day of your life.

Wonderful! Every year I wish that my family could feel a real Christmas as I did when I was a child. Then our tree was strung with popcorn and cranberries and the ornaments all hand made but they were the best trees ever. You've captured the nostalgia so well. I hope to see this on our special page at TWF.

Blessings Always,
Marcia

You and I both Anna, there were nine of us kids in my family, and we never had much but Christmas was always special and magical, perhaps that is why I still love it so and enjoy being Santa each year.

A real Christmas feel about this poem, just as it should be.
Your thoughts are fond memories to you. As I hope the thoughts are of the young children in the Bulgarian orphanages, who’s faces are a joy to see when they receive their shoebox gifts this Christmas.
