The Post of Christmas Past
Posted: December 25, 2025
A Christmas morning memory…
At Christmastime nostalgia grows.
Our thoughts revert to long ago
when life moved at a slower pace
and silver bells were heard.
Those memories of days gone by
can pull at heart strings, prompt a sigh
or push us to remember when
we didn’t text but talked.
We miss the good old-fashioned days
when by the fireplace we’d gaze
at blazing logs and twinkling lights
that graced our tinseled tree.
And yet when loved ones gather near,
the glow we long for reappears.
So, too, the warmth of simpler times
that fuels our faith and joy.
