Change in Christmas
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. and everyone has urst into song yet i cant quite seem to sing along and all i can think is something must be wrong. I'm not exicted for this holiday season and no matter how much i search for the spirt i seem to come up empty-handed. So much has changed since I was young. We use to gather and have a huge celebration but now I'm missing out on the exhilaration. Fighting use to happen but it was part of the season. Everyone one gets on edge but it no reason to end our traditions. Christmas was my constent and now it is gone. I cant even listen to the songs.
Lost
Mom was what made it Christmas
She loved it
Decorations from years gone by
All of her treats
The packages the best wrap
Champagne at midnight
Santa doesn't put his presents in paper
What will I get
Stockings first
For her Este Lauder powder
Pick up the paper
Food is delicious
Everybody pitch in
Dishes done
Let's watch the movie mom bought us
This is Christmas past
Alzheimer's took her to soon
She's now doing Christmas with the real Christ
It's just not the same
I try every year
The treasure of Christmas is now in my heart
One day I'll join her at a huge Christmas feast
All I Want(ed) For Christmas
Once I was a child, Christmas was so much fun and joy
a cozy livingroom filled with warm colors and the smell of pine
underneath that big green tree, wrapped in paper was a toy
I couldn't wait to open them, I wish all of them were mine
now that I am older, there are other things about Christmans for me to enjoy
the company, the food, the love, I hope it will all go fine
