‘cos my husband bit the end off
And our children were enthralled,
To think that at such a busy time
A reindeer had time to call.
In the midst of gift deliveries
With Santa at the reins,
They knew as children know now
That was how those presents came.
I love to think of those days
Now a widow I am left,
But with my loving family
I never feel bereft.
So Christmas is upon us
I hope memories remind,
All of other times now in the past
And the family ties that bind.
