Old Fashioned Christmas

The Christmas holiday is drawing near

A time of happiness and great cheer

Out the window, you see the bright snow

And sparkling silver trees down the row

The little white church opens its door

And welcomes in the lonely and poor

They come to fill their hearts and souls

With choir carols and steaming bowls

And in every house, on every street

A Christmas spruce is dressed so neat

With scarlet ribbons and lights on strings

Topped by an angel with gold wings

While Jack Frost is up to his old tricks

Hot cider is mulled with cinnamon sticks

Children go outside to try their new sleds

Mittens on their hands and hats on their heads

But Christmas is here for just one day

And soon the ornaments get put away

It seems to be over before the start

But the feeling still lingers in your heart
