The Mellow Mood of Christmas - Christmas Joy Contest

Soft music and thoughts of you

Thrill me through and through.

I relive childhood dreams filled

With laughter and candy canes

An orange, a few nuts and one apple

Just simple little things...

There's not much money this year,

Mama said tucking us all in bed...

Her smile was warm like a gentle

Kiss and we didn't miss

The flashy red wagon or the crying doll

We thought we had it all...

And we did,

Oh yes we did,

It was Christmas in a house filled

With love and music and those peppermint

Candy canes, home made cookies,

and made up games...and

So much love!
