Papa’s World – CHRISTMAS EVE!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

The night before Christmas and all through the house—-

How many times have you heard that?

Christmas Eve –

a time of family – sharing and laughing.

Christmas Eve – services in a barn!

Gathering of family –

some drinks and cheer.

I remember the three oldest – waiting –

and outside was a hearty laugh –

dash to the big windows overlooking the trees –

and the backyard.

And there he was –

“SANTA” dashing through the yard!

Three little girls enthralled –

Those memories I shall always cherish –

and I know when they have children –

The above story will be related to those little ones!

The trip to bring home the tree –

Sometimes a journey into the tree farm woods –

to cut your own –

little eyes all aglow –

the smell of the pine sap-

and the snow on the ground.

Little hands helping-

and soon some hot chocolate –

was back in the kitchen’s warmth.

Time to set the tree up and decorate.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING – NOT EVEN A MOUSE!

CHRISTMAS EVE –

Golf carts – hot chocolate – cookies and sheet music – it’s that time to once again sing Christmas songs in the community!

This is the season to be festive – we all met in our driveway – Solo Stove ablaze – music from the garage – this actually is the second year gathering together – and it has grown to around 15 souls!

Hot chocolate and cookies – and it was not too chilly!

Sherry – Kathy our neighbor and Diane – our other neighbor.

People mingled about before starting out to sing – three golf carts to help carry people – the rest walked.

I volunteered to stay behind and tend to the fire in the SOLO STOVE! They wouldn’t want me to sing – like an old hound dog! They were gone about an hour before they came back – regrouped and went to another part of the neighborhood.

We hope to make this an annual event – meeting at the community center when it is opened and finished.

Even the golf cart was decorated! It was a nice way to talk to friends and neighbors

and there were so many happy neighbors who came outside and even joined in – taking pictures – CAMERON WOODS COMMUNITY – OCEAN ISLE BEACH – NORTH CAROLINA – traditions being started!
