Music of the Season – Christmasing with You

Greetings Dear Reader,

Today is our annual Christmas open house.  I love this day so much when I get to share my home and larder with my friends and family.  I have so many rich blessings in my life and I love sharing my love for Christmas with others.

This year, however, I am especially missing some absent friends.  I am sentimental, emotional, and a bit corny.  My mind has been on friends I have not seen in years and in ones I see but get no real time with during the year.  I have always been someone who feels things very deeply. 

So amidst the joy of the party there will be moments a memory and prayer for absent friends.  I have no way to digitally allow you to hear this song, but I am sure the words covey the feelings in my heart.

Christmasing with You – M. and S.

Snow is drifting in the meadow

Postman’s ringing at the door

Bringing cards and packages by the score

Ornaments sparkle from the fireplace

Lights are twinkling in the lane

But I find myself thinking of you again

And I’m missing you this Christmas

If I tell it true

I wish I was Christmasing with you

Nephews and nieces filled with wonder

Sister is busy with the meal

Just a moment to call you can I steal

Your phone rings on without an answer

I return to the frolic feeling blue

Wishing I was Christmasing with you

Lovers dance a final waltz

Then for home depart

This year I’ll have to be content

To hold you in my heart

Alone in the evening sorting mail

Wish I were sitting with you

Pondering all the sweet things that you do

My eye catches your handwriting

Anxious to open up the card

Hungry for your words to warm my heart

Tears fall on the card you sent me

If what I read is true

Tomorrow I’ll be Christmasing with you

Wishing you joy in the journey,

Aramis Thorn
