Christmas Remembered

Smelling Christmas cookies baking,
Licking spoons from candy making,
Helping tie a package bow
With finger placed upon it so,
Greeting friends at wreath-trimmed door,
These and many, many more
Are things that we remember.

Shining eyes and candlelight,
Big new bikes with paint that's bright,
Stifling a sleepy yawn,
When tykes awake at crack of dawn,
Wrappings strewn across the floor,
These and many, many more
Are things that we remember.

Shining star that led the way
To Jesus sleeping in the hay,
Reborn hope of Jesus' birth
Bringing peace and joy on Earth.
Golden angels' wings that soar,
These and many, many more
Are things we should remember.
