A Christmas Tale
Twas weeks before Christmas
No money to be found
All of a sudden I looked all around
There was flour, and sugar
Molasses and honey
To bake something off didn't take much money.
There was lace and ribbons and wire to be found
Magic to be made all around.
Some clippings from an evergreen out side
There were pine cones to dip
Bows to be tied.
It didn't take much, like popcorn stitched tight
Cranberries on a string oh what a sight.
I found wooden cherries they were giving away
At two cents a piece they became a main stay
One year I made angels folk art, and quite grand
One year it was Rudolph who greeted the clan.
There were bells to jingle, sleds to paint
I was so busy I would almost faint,
And when it was done,
And most given away
Not an angel was left
not even a stray.
Dolls were sewn, bears stuffed and made
My daughter even got in on the trade.
It just isn't Christmas if you go out and shop
You have to take time
You have to stop.
Smell all the ever greens,
Let it sink in
It's the memories you make that will live on with in.
Merry Christmas to all, dust that glue gun tonight.
Make some memorie that will last them all of their life
