A few Christmases ago with some of my son's new family and my mom visiting us at my house!

Candies, Christmas songs and presents Held me one time in their thrall. Reunions, however, had true Christmas essence In that childhood I recall So fondly, but nowadays it seems Too many folks I used to know have Moved on or passed away. My dreams Are not the same, but family Still rules in this happiest of holidays for me! for the What Does Christmas Mean to You Contest of Matt Caliri

Hi Andie! Here today just to read/reply and comment on some. This acrostic has a charm all its own. Wouldn't have thought you're any day above fifty with that pic. Wishing you the best this Christmas and a great year ahead!
