Christmas cookies warm so sweet
Pumpkin, apple, pies to eat
Tempting, tasty, foods abound
When family’s gather all around
They come for love from near and far
Laughter and tears, for lost years
Presents Santa did not bring
That made you cry, stomp your feet
Christmas past, Christmas present
Thoughts of love for those not here
With memories of holidays long past
Filled with love, joy and tears
At end of day, content and full,
We hug and kiss then say goodnight
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Hope to see you next year
