Christmas Memories

It's been many years now,
Seems they are here to stay -
All those Christmas mem'ries
That will not go away.

There's not a Christmastime
That comes and goes each year
When I don't think: 'Santa!'
And all his nine reindeer.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Comet, Cupid, Vixen.
Always there is Rudolph.
Then Donner and Blitzen.

Tasty fruits and candy
And gifts beneath the tree.
Lovely cards, and pastries.
Nostalgic sights to see.

Colorful tree lightings.
Love towering o'er strife.
These childhood memories
Are staples in my life.
