CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
No comparison….
There is no comparison between
a child’s Christmas - the waking up,
the rubbing of eyes - and then the
realization and the run - that there
are surprises under the Christmas tree
to be unwrapped - ripped open - that
wonderful sound - wrapped surprises -
boxes one has been feeling, shaking,
picking up - for at least 10 days now -
and then the photo shots by one’s
parents of their kids kneeling at
the Christmas tree on Christmas morning….
No comparison….
There is no comparison between
a 55 and older’s Christmas - with all those
same memories - and so much more -
gifts - Christmas gifts - life time gifts that
one has been feeling, shaking, picking up -
for at least 50 years now - those photos
in one’s memory - sitting there looking at
the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.
