Christmases back from time
Peace and Joy
I remember getting lots of toys
I was raised with love from my Grandparents
They instilled in me being assurance
We lived on Pacific Street in Brooklyn, New York
It was a Two Family Brownstone
But throughout my life, I felt never alone
Christmas seem to brighten our house
We had an Artificial Christmas Tree with rotating multi-colored Spotlight circling the tree
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad passenger train set welcomed Christmas in and the Guest who arrived at my house
Christmas Cards would be hung all along the walls
My Grandmother would be preparing the meals for Christmas Day the night before
It would Turkey, Ham and many assortments
The deserts would be Two Layer Cakes, Ice Cream and Sweet Potato Pies
I see when I mentioned deserts your eyes seems to rise
Now if you are on a diet, eat today and diet tomorrow
Of course, I had to have a piece of cake
It was give or take
Even Santa wouldn’t lose weight, as he would have gotten even bigger
Did I say bigger?
How would Santa fit coming down the chimney?
I won’t comment, as Ms. Claus is the seamstress
So it was Happy Holiday celebrations in my house
Family and Friends would rejoice
We would sing Christmas Carols being our voice
But I will never forget the significance of what Christmas was all about
Baby Jesus, North Star and Peace and goodwill towards men along with blessings
I often miss those Christmases from way back
But I hold them close to my heart for safekeeping
Now where is my Eggnog?
Holiday Cheer to one and all
Christmas is almost near, but have no fear
