Old Fashioned Christmas Parade

We gather on the streets Lining up in the cold Waiting just to see them Remembering days of old The harnesses made of leather Their bells are colored gold Horses pull their carriages And prance into our souls Here come the Christmas carolers But Santa steals the show As the children gather candy Look how their little eyes glow Our hearts filled with Spirit We enjoy each rendition The Old Fashioned Christmas Parade A Lawrence, Kansas tradition Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend *inspired by Carolyn's "Christmas in Your Town" contest.
