Fond Memories

You and I by the Christmas Fire Bing Crosby on the CD I stare at your face With a big smile across my face The house is empty There is no one home So, we decorate the place. Lighted candles in every space. We put the presents where they belong Waiting for the boys to get home. So, they can help along. When they arrive, what a surprise! It is time to decorate the evergreen. Colored lights, red and white Ornaments last year seen An angel on top, where she belongs We gather around, sing some songs The boys off to bed where Sweet dreams drift in their minds Waiting for Santa to make that big climb! “Fond Memories Contest”
