Merry Christmas 2011 poem and Video ecard: Christmas Memories

Christmas Memories

As Christmas nears once again
My mind drifts back to years gone by
Back long before I was even ten
The memories bring a tear to my eye

Christmas past was such a happy time
With all my family by my side
Real Christmas trees made of pine
Snow flakes falling softly outside

As I look back and recall the season
It was not really about presents or gifts
In my heart I have realized the reason
And it gives my Christmas spirit a lift

Christmas is about the love we share
About spending time with family and friends
A season to show how much we care
Christmas is a good time to make amends

Christmas memories make me sad and blue
For family, friends and youth no more
But I am making new Christmas memories too
And that makes my Christmas spirit soar
