All I Want For Christmas Is .... Christmas

It disappeared, we gave it away.
I’d like to find it again, for sure.
A good old fashioned holiday,
one without the digital manure,
the hype and verbal foreplay.

Sincere and straight up, Charles! Most assuredly from a heart that remembers when Christmas was Christmas...I think I'll watch, "It's A Beautiful World" tonight and be transported to some other place. Have a good evening, Charles and blessings to you and family. Love, Audrey
