It is a memory that goes back to my youth

The smell of sweet pies that awaken a sleeping child

The excitement and hope of things to come

The taste of the season as we gather as one

The smells in addition to the sight only bring delight

As the soft carol float though the air at night

The cold frost I feel outside

Will not dampen the warmth within

Some family and friends come from afar

To share in love and celebration

There is no better moment to be alive

While the taste of the season is among us

Our hearts are not all happy with memories from past seasons

With friends and family that have left to be in their spiritual home

We play tribute to their memories in song and video

As we witness our emotions like a cowboy on a rodeo

These memories shall stay with me for season yet to come

With the bitter and sweet all mixed up in one

The sights, smells and taste this joyous season bring

The taste of the season as the angels sings
