CHRISTMAS REFLECTION, BACK INTO TIME

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
