Hush of Chritmas Past

In the Fifties, on Christmas Eve, We all dressed in our Sunday best To go to Midnight Mass To exalt the birth of Jesus Christ We’d come home, get into our PJ's, And sleep around the decorated Christmas tree. We all would wake up all worked up To open our gifts of coloring books, Crayon, clothes, and a few toys. We were happy with our gifts, Never did complain to our parents of what we obtained. Now in the Twenty Century They still honor the birth of Jesus Christ Midnight Mass and sing Christmas carols It Came Upon the Midnight Clear, O Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, Then go home to their beautifully decorated Christmas tree of silver and gold ornaments, Garland of string pearls, gold wide bow ribbons And a large angel on top of the tree With brilliant strings of miniature lights. Gifts of all sizes overflow around the bottom Of the tree. And mom and dad go in debt Until next year. Kidos Christmas toys are electronic Games, action figures, cell phone, iPods, And if they're not happy they complain and Presents are returning the following day By Eve Roper 12/10/2014
