As my quiet northern forest fills up with falling snow... My heart goes back in memory to Christmas long ago... I see again our tall pine tree that magic, holy, night All decked with silver tinsel and coloured Christmas lights.... The presents and the toys are piled beneath the tree.... And the scent of roasted turkey drifts from the old pantry.... We gather close to mother, as she sits down to sing And around the old piano our happy voices ring.... We sing the songs of Christmas, the carols and the hymns.... Then all to soon the night is o'er and mother says "Turn in".... Then soft she comes to kiss us and bid us each "Good night".... And off we go to dreamland, in the glow of Christmas lights.... So as my quiet northern forest fills up with falling snow.... My heart goes back in memory to Christmas long ago.... And the dreams I dreamt in child- hood, I'll dream again tonight... In my quiet northern forest, in the glow of Christmas lights. Judy Eckert -MacLean Val Caron, ON Write a letter to the editor!
