My favorite Christmas

Ah my favorite Christmas I was ten plus one 
no gifts were we to see, though no evil had been done 
for we were government peasants 
and cut down a Charlie Brown tree 
to stand over the presents 
that were not to be 

We were nearly ready for bed when their  arose such a clatter 
a shiny silver sleigh ...a ford for that matter 
carrying two men....uncles to me 
and on top a beautiful... live ...Christmas tree 
so we tore down o'l Charlie 
and said a eulogy.. 

and put up the new one as quick as could be 

and tears filled my eyes 
see Christmas it comes 
i knew that Santa 
didn't see us as bums 

the story has been written so i turn the page 
but wait...there is nothing for a boy of my age 
...so I gave them all to my little brother 
and the smile on his face 
was better than any present 
a gift never to erase 

Christmas had come 
to one and to all 
it's not about the presents 
but the memories you recall 

Merry Christmas Everyone.

I love this Terry! Christmas is about being with the people we love, to me. It's about having a homemade dinner and laughing. Everything else is commercial...
