Christmas revives memories of old

days when I was back in granny's fold.

She would be slaving all day long

weeks before the Christmas morn.

The little house all filled up high

with savouries, sweetmeats and fruity fries

that would fill our hearts with great delight.

The smells that permeated the airy room

luring loads of hungry hearts on Christmas night.

The house freshly painted in white

while the Christmas tree all colourful and bright

enshrouded the room with its fragrance so light.

The crib so deftly created by expert hands

which housed the Holy family and the three Wise men.

Presents all wrapped 'neath the tree

filling the hearts of all with glee.

And as the days went into months

which slowly passed by into years...

now, I've grown with a family of my own;

but I still reminisce about the days gone by,

when I spent christmas in granny's fold.
