Christmas Nostalgia
“As time goes on, new memories are made;
nostalgia does not let the best ones fade.”
_by Poet
My memories of Christmas, long ago,
come from our dear, old-fashioned scene;
extended family, all living close,
from young to old, and in between.
All came to join- no traveling from far.
Those days, most families lived near;
were free to celebrate with care and joy-
and were available each year.
Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins too,
would join us all at Christmas time,
and every holiday that came along;
that unity was strong and prime.
But times are different these modern days,
and now, some live quite far away,
and travel time can take up many hours;
needs planning more than just one day.
Our family's now scattered here and there-
up North, down South, Hawaii too.
Back then, our Hudson Valley and the Bronx
helped lifetime closeness follow-through.
The good old days were certainly the best
to form nostalgia kept as gold,
where families shared love on Christmas day-
with everyone, both young and old.
