Description
Imagine
For a moment Christmas long ago~
Listen to the sleigh bells ringing gaily
as the stars shine bright
hear the woodsmen chopping fire logs
for the cold winter's night~
Picture Santa Claus in children's minds
as they slowly retire to bed
While chestnuts crackle loudly in the open fire~
Imagine stranger's exchaning greetings
in Yuletide apparel
Hear the choir's sweet voices
singing Christmas carols~
See the horse drawn carriage
gliding swiftly over new fallen snow
while listening to the church bell echo
in the valley below~
Imagine
For a moment Christmas of long ago~

Oh, Susan..Thank you for the picture show that ran through my mind while reading this beautiful verse. The vintage card is perfect. Big Fat Hugz! We have the same weather as you. The deer in the yard today walked right on top of the snow because it was crusted over with ice. Ice below it, about 2 inches, and ice above it, about an inch. A snow sandwich!! LOL! Merry Christmas hon.
You paint a beautiful picture with your words hon! I hope your day has been filled with joy and love! Merry Christmas!! V

What an amazing lady you are dear! I've enjoyed your precious words for a long time now..this is just beautiful.. HUGEST HUGS Love you.
Merry Christmas to you and Your family. very good words; It snowed here in S. Louisisana the first time I can remember for Christmas 10 minutes but it came down a little lol
susan, i've been on this page now for oh...'bout 30 minutes...reading, re-reading, imagining, getting lost in in Christmas of long ago...but for than a moment! LOL. Susan...the poem makes me weepy, remembering Nana, my sweet grandmother. i don't remember Christmases with her and Papa...only Thanksgivings. she was my kentucky grandmother. "listen to Christmas bells echo in the valley below"...you nearly broke my heart sissy! Nana & Papa lived in a valley...in Liberty, Ky...one of the most beautiful places in my memory. in summer...smells of lilac and honeysuckle. in winter...snow covered hills and trees sigh. standing in front of the wood stove. her sweet voice as she sung gospels...we never got to see them at Christmas. only Thanksgiving. i only remember one time they came to our house. she stayed in my bedroom. she had a blood clot go to her lung. and she died. when i was 12 years old. weeping. I didn't get to tell her goodbye. sobbing...sorry sis...i didn't get to tell her how much i loved her. anyway, your poem was just so beautiful girl. made me remember so many happy things. sadness too. but mostly....it makes me remember love. thanks for that. I love you sweet sis! hugest hugz Merry Christmas!!!! hey girl...you got any leftovers??? i'm dying for a slice of pumpkin pie...with whipped cream on top!!!!! i didn't get any this year!!!! love you!!!!!! vote!
