AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS

Old fashioned lights upon the tree,
icicles shimmer for all to see;
Popcorn and cranberries
strung with care,
brightly wrapped gifts
for all to share.

A wreath with holly and a scarlet bow,
stockings on the mantle,
all hung in a row;
Bright red candles gleaming bright,
cookies and milk for Santa tonight.

The moonlight glistening
on pure white snow,
families gathered 'round
the fire's warm glow;
The carolers singing peace on earth,
as everyone celebrates Jesus' birth.

My old fashioned wish
for you this year,
be thankful for all that you hold dear;
Family and friends--health and love,
sent to us from heaven above.
