Christmas Memories
Christmas Memories
I remember hard candy at Christmas
With nuts and or'nges and tangerines!
All stuck in my stocking and choc'late drops!
And a Big clump of grapes piled on the top...
I remember we never could buy them...
For such things, the money we could not spare;
But or'nges and pine, the scent from the tree,
Have always smelled just like Christmas to me.
I don't remember much under the tree,
(Full of trinkets, icicles, lights, and bells!),
But I know I never did go without...
And I was always glad I did not pout!
So hung my stocking...looped over a chair...
That's how I knew, Santa Clause, had been there.
