Christmas doesn’t feel the same anymore

Absent friends and love ones who are no more.

Yuletide carols I no longer hear

Family’s don’t gather cause they don’t live near.

The nativity scene is hidden as it might offend

It’s so hard now to distinguish between foe or friend.

Questions that were normal, you’re afraid to ask

You can’t kiss under the mistletoe while you wear your mask.

Children’s expectations make their parents blue

A stocking with a small toy and some fruit won’t do.

Remembering times from yesteryear brings a tear or two

So in an old fashioned way let me say to you.

I wish you all a Christmas of love and good cheer

And I hope for you there is happiness in this New Year.

We use to sit around the table and play a game

We don’t do that anymore, because Christmas ain’t the same.
