A
Country
Christmas
Christmas
was
always
a
special
time
In
the
country
so
long
ago
Firelight
danced
on
windowpanes
As
hearts
began
to
glow.
As
a
child,
I
yet
remember
Gathering
around
the
tree
Grandpa's
old
time
stories
Filled
every
face
with
glee.
Savory
smells
drifted
through
the
air
In
a
heavenly
atmosphere
Voices
cracked
with
happiness
As
Christmas
day
drew
near.
Homemade
pies
aligned
the
shelves
Made
by
Grandma's
aging
hands
And
something
spiritual
touched
us
all
As
the
Yuletide
swept
the
land.
T'was
an
ole
fashioned
country
Christmas
Blessed
with
lots
of
Christmas
snow
Sleigh
rides
for
the
young
at
heart
And
hanging
mistletoe.
Now
my
heart
fills
up
with
gladness
As
the
season
brings
its
cheer
When
these
thoughts
of
mine
go
back
in
time
To
recapture
yesteryear.
