Things We Never Forget

Things We Never Forget

~Nadine Brothers Lybarger~
There's a lot of nice things about Christmas
Things we never forget . . .
The toys we got and the fun times we had
At our Christmas parties, and yet . . .
I think the best of all was when
The neighbors gathered 'round
Grandmother's old fashioned kitchen
And sacked up pound after pound
Of peppermint sticks and jelly beans
And sugar curls, until
There was enough that everyone
Would get their fill.
There were barrels of nuts and oranges
And candied apples, too,
And even the children present, had
An important job to do.
There's a lot to tell about Christmas
That makes a pretty rhyme . . .
But there's nothing more fun to remember
Than candy-sacking time.
