Where Are the Sounds of Christmas

Where are the sounds of Christmas? Locked in the hearts of the people you say. Where did all the smiles go? What happened to the glee filled, 'Happy Holiday!' A greeting by strangers and friends you Chanced to meet... In a store or on the street... What happened to the sounds of Christmas' I haven't heard the old Christmas songs On the radio... These new songs, I don't even know. Bring back 'The Christmas Song' by Mr. Nat King Cole Bring back Bing Crosby Dreaming of a White Christmas From days of old... The sounds of Christmas once rang loud and clear, With 'Merry Merry Christmas My Friend and have A properous Happy New Year!: I long to hear carrolers gathering, singing songs of the season Where are the Christmas sounds, why have they stopped? Do you know the reason? Dorothy Alves Holmes A Poet Who Loves To Sing Written 12:15 a.m. Dec. 4, 2009
