The Perfect Christmas Gift

When I was a child coming down the stairs on an early Christmas morn' I was too young to know that this was the day that our savior, Christ was born I was only two or three years old that's as early as I remember I looked outside and saw drifts of snow that come in the month of December I was the happiest child when I turned around and, saw the gifts that were under the tree I then ran upstairs and woke everyone up so, they could all come down and see The memories I have of myself as a child on that wonderful Christmas day I will lock them deep within my heart so, they will never slip away And, every year on Christmas day these memories I will lift I will share them all with family and friends 'cause they're the perfect Christmas gift by Roger Horsch 11/23/2013
