The moment had arrived; the holiday spirit with merit;

The Christmas cards that were hung; my life among;

The decorated tree; visualization for all to see;

A brownstone on Pacific; nothing scientific;

Then there’s my Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; underneath the tree, a memory for me;

The snow of the season; my reason in believing;

Food prepared with care; my Grandmother’s style with flair;

 Variety of dishes; my smiles in stitches;

Taste of emotion; my thoughts within my notion;

The story of time; a short moment shared is mine;

Holiday cheer full of promise; the thought of St. Nick in being honest;

My Grandmother’s phrase; let’s give God the praise;

Joy unto you and peace;

A star in the land; the story of Bethlehem;

Family presence; the gathering;

A Christmas year I will always remember; it’s my Grandparents love in that certain December;

Even though they are gone now; I thank them for showing me how;

A Christmas tradition; a magician with a mission;

Thank thee unto me and joy to the world for all to see.
