I love going to small town and villages at Christmas and walking along their one main street...it is like waking up from a time capsule into a world where people still cared...

Christmas Small-town Atmosphere


By: Fee


 


That big old clock on Main Street


Will it still runs ten minutes slow


And old Jake still shovels sidewalks


Each time we get a little snow


And teenagers sit around the square


‘Neath the streetlamps yellow glow


 


Chorus:


That big old fir trees all a glitter


Caroler’s songs warm the winter air


People greet you with a wave and smile


Happy holidays they all share


It’s great to walk down Main Street


In our small-town atmosphere


 


The bells tinkle over the doorways


Of the stores and shops all gaily lit


While the 5 and 10 has a big sale on


Of toy dolls and new baseball mits


And that Santa Claus parade on Thursday


My wasn’t that some kind of hit


 


Christmas Concert at the school tonight


Holiday songs and children’s plays


Oh Lord don’t it just take you back


To all them wonderful childhood days


Christmas magic in s small-town atmosphere


In so very many special little ways

You just took me back on a very joyous journey, and for that, I truly thank you.

Oh this was CHOICE Fee!
I remember back to those GOOD OLD DAYS, lol, and wish it was like that again, but alas, to the noisy shopping malls we are resigned.

Lovely, a keeper.

You have captured the true joy of the Holiday season. I remember Jordan New York, and still enjoy my journey there, as well as in Campbeltown Scotland.

Fee, as I read the title of this poem, I was hoping for a wonderful stroll down memory lane. YOU gave it to me. My most sincere and heartfelt "Thanks!"

God bless you. Kathy

Oh that small-town atmosphere
Fills our hearts with love and cheer,

I now live in a small town and it is as you describe and more, add the sound of horses clopping down main street, the sounds of Christmas music on the air plus the smells from the bakery...now thats Christmas in my small town

Felix this brings me back to when I was a kid and Mom would take us about to let us see some of the things that Santa could bring if we were good kids. A beautiful Christmas song and I would love to hear it sung. Thank you for sharing your talent with us again.

Love ya Cuz XOXOXO, Rose

Wish we'd get back to the small town Christmases...and wish we'd return to the REAL Reason for the Season (and it's not about shopping and going into debt!). Excellent, (((Fee))), lovely holiday song.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

There's nothing quite like the charm of Christmas being celebrated in the small towns or villages; we need to return to those carefree days and focus on the REAL Reason of the Season, not all this commercialism/political correctness garbage!! Very well written, Fee!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
