CHRISTMAS BLUES

Looking out the window
Leaves no longer on the trees
It’s gloomy, gray and awfully cold
Wish you were here with me.

The holidays will soon arrive
Sent out my Christmas cards
So many friends have passed on
It makes it so darn hard.

Christmas carols, Christmas trees
The smell of evergreen
Presents wrapped under the tree
On the mantel, a nativity scene.

The magic and the make believe
Reserved only for children
But, still  enjoy wrapping our gifts 
With fancy bows and ribbons. 

Remembering all the days gone by
The good times and the bad
Those special times make life worthwhile 
But, sometimes makes us sad.

Christmas is a holiday
A day to beam and shine
Try our best to shake the blues
Be happy and be kind.

A steamy, warm, hot chocolate
Some Christmas cookies, too
Sitting  by the fire
Helps to soothe those Christmas blues.

      1. Oh WOW … much has happened in the last couple of months, then! I’m glad for you … I don’t think I could live in Florida or Texas these days! I hope your condo sells quickly and you get what you’re asking for it. Will write soon, my friend! And Happy Holidays to you … your new locale sounds like a fun place to be at this time of the year! 💖
