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 .......
