Christmas Memories
Christmas Memories
by Bob Moore
The stockings all hung by the fire, the tree is all a-glow
this scene brings back memories, of times we used to know
holly hanging from the tree, mistletoe above the door
to trap a kiss, from one you love, who could ask for more
Christmas may not be what it was, in those days of yesteryear
a time of joy and friendship, friends and neighbours gathered near
or do we just remember, a gentler, safer time
when your neighbour was your neighbour, no difference in your mind
It was a time of celebration, a joy of living, all you need
a time to just be happy, no matter what your creed
children are still children, and like to just have fun
so say hi to your neighbour, the season has begun
