Christmas memories

For christmas time our gallery in 2nd street ste Madeleine
use to be the most decorate at Christmas time
My grandmother was the biggest child at heart
And for Christmas she would always show it

She would buy lots of stuff animals 
And decorations and ornaments
And we would decorate the whole gallery
Down the steps and in front the house

There's was two Christmas trees in our gallery
And both of them she made herself
She cut colored prices of nylon ropes
And comb it out with a fine teeth comb

To make it look fluffy like cotton candy
Then tied the middle of each with wire
And with dried guava branches 
She made the best Christmas trees you ever seen

We had rain deer's ,Santa's ,unicorns
Rocking horses and flippers 
And we had a very big blue blow up shark
That took us a long time blowing up with a hand pump

Christmas time in our house 
For us was always the best time ever
There was not one thing at the time 
That my grandmother and parent didn't buy for us

We had gun and sack .cowboy hat .cowboy boots
cowboy vest with sheriff's barge
Each of us had our own bicycles 
Batman Cars .and planes trains

Every toy that was popular at the time
We had it 
There was nothing that they didn't buy for us
Piano organ. Guitars ,harps.drums. Mouth organs
And new cloths and shoes and comics books

And my father use to buy boxes of apples
Dates .pears drax .and cases of sweet drink
And my mother use to bake all kinds of cakes

In those days there was no gas stove or oven
There was only pitch oil two burner shove
Everyone use to make ovens from barrels

My father cut the middle of the barrel front 
To make a door and put a wire grill
Flat across
To rest the cake pans to bake
Then cut a next hole in the bellow front of the barrel 
To light the fire wood on the bottom of the barrel

And that's how people use to bake in those days 
And for Christmas Eve night under every house
In The whole of 2nd street use to be smelling like a bakery
The sweet nice smell of cakes baking

One Christmas morning very early like 3 am
We awake to piano music playing down stairs our house
That Christmas my father bought us so many toys
Including new bikes and hide it downs stairs

My mother and grandmother told us
That it was Santa clause playing the music down stairs
We were really sacred to go to see who it was
Then the music stop and they said Santa leave

And we ran down the steps to see the toys
And started jump up with excitement at so many things we got
We played the whole time till day light
One of the many Christmas memories of our childhood days

On Christmas day all the kids in 2 nd street
Use to come out side to play with their toys
We all would just play and play and never get tired
Shooting .football cricket. Hide and seek

Its was just the happiest time of our life's
Never once thinking it would all go away
Today when i think of those days
I just wish it could of last forever

Every Christmas I miss them very much
And I miss the childhood days that we had
Today we have family's of our own to spend Christmas with
And i always feel like my father and 
grandmother are here today with us
