Sunday Poem ~ Old-Fashioned Christmas

I’d like to push the Calendar

Back fifty years or so

And celebrate my Christmas

As they did so long ago.

A tree of green would grace my room

With candles shining bright,

And popcorn strings, and homemade things

Would fill me with delight.

I’d make a gift or two for each

One in my family

And hide them until Christmas

When I’d place them ‘neath the tree.

The snow that fell upon the ground

Would last all winter long.
I’d ride a one-horse open sleigh
And sing a Christmas song.

The family would go to church

Through snow on Christmas morn

And listen to the story of

When Jesus Christ was born.

They didn’t have the worries of

A shopping tour each day

To outdo one another

With their gifts on Christmas Day.

Christmas many years ago

Was a splendid thing.

It was the day to celebrate

The birthday of our King!
