Christmas In July

Cottage dreams, wooden cabins and the scent of burning campfires Every July we would gather at Vince's cottage to see Santa in attire Into the water he would go with his speed boat full of presents all the kids would run to see the bearded man with a belly bent There was no snow, no mistletoe, no hot toddy, just sweet lemonade all the kids would line up straight just waiting for that gifted accolade We had never heard of Christmas in July for us this was spanking new at night we sat around at fire and sang carols until half past two Today I reminisce about those days of Christmas in the summer heat we wore flip flops and passed out freeze pops, oh it was all so neat Now when winter holidays arrive with cold and winter storms abroad we talk about Vince and his Xmas antics, before he left to be with God.
