Memories of Christmas

I love those moments of reliving a precious memory,

it can be relived by telling it to another...detail by detail,

sometimes you just replay it over and over in your mind,

or its relived in your sweet dreams as you close your eyes,

looking at pictures,

holding a small item,

smelling that familiar fragrance,

they all bring back those memories.

The memories of Christmas

Today it was walking with my daddy  through those stores among Christmas crazed crowds...

going to the stores that we always have, for as long as I can remember.

Talking and walking beside my dad remembering all of our adventures in years previous

and living through some new adventures

and finally realizing...it's Christmas well almost

Today it was wrapping presents with my little brother, with him so very eager to help...

watching the joy it brings him to place another little present under the tree.

listening to Christmas songs

and singing along

and finally realizing...this is what Christmas is about

enjoy the little things, for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.
