I remember times of Christmas past
The things we used to do as a family
The times we shared and showed we cared
And attending Christmas mass

I remember times of Christmas joy
The presents given so gleefully
Carol singing around the Christmas tree
And showering blessings which we all enjoyed

I remember a Christmas of selflessness
Sharing the little we had with each other
Visiting the lonely and keeping them company
And in so doing we felt truly blessed


I remember a Christmas of abundance
Looking forward to seeing eager little faces
Unwrapping presents made by loving hands
And mother's words gave comfort and reassurance

I long for those Christmases of the past
A time of pure and wholesome enjoyment
Christ, ever present in our celebrations
As we shared love and blessings amassed

Beautiful!!! Every year my kids and I pick a theme for our Christmas. It's usually Christmas Around the world, but this year it will be a victorian Christmas. So I'm looking for ideas now.
