Childhood Christmas Memories

Childhood Christmas Memories A sleep at night All tucked in It feels so right And in my dreams I am counting all my presents That I know I'd receive I awaken to the scents of evergreens, the pine tree aroma From the real seven foot Christmas tree This meant the world to me My memory of childhood Childhood Christmas memories All my family here There's plenty of love and cheer Yes, I remember it well Sometime Grandma Rudell Would take me afterwards to the sisters at her church homes Boxes and bags under the tree Is all of this stuff here for me Sometimes I got twice and more than enough Because my birthday followed in the next month And in the kitchen there's those SMELLS (yum) Air filled with turkey, homemade breads and pies Cooked hams and collard greens, cornbread and sweet potato pies This aroma caught my nose and my eyes All my family here There's plenty of love and cheer This meant the world to me My memory of childhood .......
