Our Holiday Home

Christmas boxes full of memories down from the attic they come The house was so quiet but...now everyone starts to hum A wonderful feeling being overcome by holiday cheer Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year Boxes and boxes to go through finding something broken is my fear Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year Here come the guys with their fresh cut tree It will look beautiful just you wait and see Our beautiful picture of Jesus forever hangs on our wall The tree must set just right so the light on top upon Jesus will fall Christmas is about our dear Savior in our home is quite clear Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year As the tree is decorated we talk of past Christmases and our love ones now passed on We find peace being with each other and happy to know we have kept one another from becoming withdrawn A toast of cheer we raise to those in heaven and feel them so near Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year It is a joy to come together with loved ones we hold so dear Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year A family less fortunate then us we will visit this Christmas Eve Spreading joy and love to the family and seeing their smiles as they once again in our Lord believe Christmas day does arrive...a beautiful day to which we thank our Lord above The day or our dear Savior's birth whom without we would never have love We sit at our table and say pray before we have our meal with loved ones we hold so near Welcome to our holiday home at this special time of the year Written By: Carol Brown Written for: Holiday Hearth Contest Sponsor: Linda-Marie 1st Place Winner Entry for P.D.'s Best Holiday Poem Contest 4th Place
