CHRISTMAS MEMORIES ARE PRECIOUS

by Gene Minix

Christmas memories are precious.
They last a lifetime.
Christmas memories are priceless.
How I value mine.
A little boy long ago
"Neath the Christmas tree.
Playing with his toys
Happy as could be.
Mom and Dad's smiling faces
As we children ran to see
What Santa had brought us
And left there under the tree.
Driving to church
On a Christmas Eve night
To watch the Christmas play
What a wonderful sight.
Hearing the preacher read
How the star shown so bright
And how the shepherds came
To the manger that night.
To see God's precious Son
Lying there upon the hay.
The One who came to earth
To take our sins away.
I remember a candy bag
Mama gave at Christmas time.
Filled with special treats.
How I valued mine.
School Christmas parties
And then the holidays.
Christmas memories, precious memories
One cannot take away.
I remember that first Christmas
For my wife and me.
Forever so precious
Will that memory be.
And when the children came
What wonderful joy.
I can see them now smiling
Our little girl and boy.
A snow on Christmas day.
Wow, what a special time.
So many wonderful memories
Running through my mind.
And grandchildren when they arrived
How we love them so.
Watching them enjoy Christmas
And watching the memories grow.
Each Christmas is very special.
And I know this one will be.
And the memories that we make
Will be so special to me.
Thank you, Dear Lord, for your love.
For your mercy and your grace each day.
And thank you for the precious memories
You have brought my way.
Yes, Christmas memories are precious.
They last a lifetime.
Christmas memories are priceless.
How I value mine.
