THE MEANING OF AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS “Peace on Earth”
TOYS “Buzz, Bang, Whiz”
GIFTS “From the Heart”
What is an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS? A boy asked his
parents one day.
They thought for a while before they would
venture to say.
After thinking it through and pondering a while,
They tried to portray to him the OLD
FASHIONED CHRISTMAS style.
You see, the holiday season we all know of today,
Often seems a far cry from what this season
should portray.
People crowd the stores buying many
GIFTS and TOYS
In far too large a quantity for all the girls and boys.
In the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS, things were different, you see,
Far fewer GIFTS than there seemed to be.
So they were all given with love beyond measure.
Making the giving a wonderful treasure.
In the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS, the best GIFTS of all,
Were those of goodwill or perhaps a token so small.
TOYS were not given in excess by the score,
And many GIFTS were homemade and not bought from a store.
So if an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS you now wish to
see,
Remember, the quantity of GIFTS is immaterial as can be.
For an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS, let’s all now start,
By remember ing, my friend, it begins in the heart,
Through the giving of kindness and goodwill to all mankind.
An OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS we certainly can find.
The GIFTS with meaning in this season can play a part,
With an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS begun in your heart.
