Best Christmas I had at home, past years |
THE BEST CHRISTMAS When the cold comes in with thick mist when I hear fire crackers in the distance as the postman brings the greeting cards then I know Christmas time is near Christmas shopping we did with joy buying clothes, food and greeting cards too writing cards one week before not forgetting to buy the X’mas tree also Brother used to decorate the Christmas tree while father listened to songs of Jim Reeves mom was in the kitchen busy with drinks they gave us their love at this past Christmas Christmas eve, we spent at home dinner made by mother, very tasty too my father brought a bottle of jin he hardly drank it but a small sip It was walking distance to the brightly lit church we always walked to the midnight mass when we returned home at one thirty or so festival started with bang and boom! After mass relatives came one by one first one was always ‘Harold”, brother of my mom then came ‘Robert’, the younger one we served them with cakes and coffee in tiny cups This was the Christmas I used to know father is here while mom is gone we all remember her at this Christmas too she gave her love to everyone I know. |
