Give Me An Old Christmas
I want an old fashioned Christmas,
The same as years ago;
Carolers singing, church bells ringing,
Children playing in the snow
I want a horse-drawn carriage,
To lead me through the cold;
I'd bring home the biggest tree,
As they did in the days of old
Long before technology's rule,
Christmas was simple and plain;
The season held true meaning,
Critics had nothing to claim
Before the twinkling lights,
Candles flared with grace;
Families gathered in numbers,
Sharing spirits by the fireplace
Elated children decorated the tree,
Wooden ornaments cast their spell;
Tiny feet scurried to the family room,
To hear grandfather's ghostly tale!
Folks throughout the community,
Amassed together in prayer;
The true spirit of Christmas,
Cast its elegant flair
The natural essence of garland,
Such a sweet fragrance of pine;
Mistletoe, holly, scented wreaths,
The magic of Christmastime!
No fancy gifts or presents,
Beneath the Christmas tree;
Hearts blended as one in harmony,
Heads bowed together in unity
The aroma of a roasting turkey,
Welcomed neighbors passing by;
Naughty kids prowled the kitchen,
For a sliver of grandma's pie!
Bring back those days of Christmas,
When Christ was the celebration;
God gave the greatest gift of all,
Peace on earth to every nation!
