A Little More Christmas

 

One of my favorite all time Christmas memories
is remembering all the times My Aunt (who raised me)
made me artificial snow. I can still remember her in
the kitchen with " Ivory Snowflakes" beating them
with an old fashioned egg beater, she would beat them
all fluffy and stiff then we would go into livingroom
(where the tree was) it was always a huge one, there
we would put the snow on the branches. My Aunt is
86 years old today and she is still as precious to me
now as she was then. I love her dearly. I think she would
love to see and old fashioned tree like she used to make.
The tree not only had artificial snow, but it also had,
cranberries,and popcorn, paper chains and gingerbread
boys and girls.She made these also. I was so starry eyed
at Christmas time, she kept Christmas and Santa alive
for me much longer than most kids have Him. I can
remember getting up in the morning and coming down
the stairs and there were all my dolls (I had about a
hundred of them) They were all dressed in new
nightgowns that matched the ones Santa left for me.
This is for you Aunt Peg . I love you dearly. You have
been an example to me all my life. Here is your old
fashioned tree.

Dear Santa;
What I want most is a real live pup
That I can squeeze and cuddle up.
I'd love the warm soft feel of him,
I'd keep the coat all burnished and trim.
I'd love to feed and watch him grow
From day-to-day; and this I know
He'd get nice tidbits from my plate
I'd share with him,if he'd just wait
Til no one looks; and I'd invite
Him to my bed, most every night.
So Santa, I'd  take most any kind,
Terrier, Cocker, Poodle,
I won't  mind.
Please leave his basket by the tree
And a card that says from you
to me.
Goodbye Santa

Jim
