Christmas Eve" by Mina Morris Scott

VINTAGE VERSE: "Christmas Eve" by Mina Morris Scott from the IDEALS Christmas Magazine 1969 Kindle the candles and sing the sweet carols; Hang up the holly and tinsel the tree. Christmas is coming with all of its gladness, With treasures and pleasure for you and for me. Hide the gay gifts and secret surprises; Bake the plum pudding, the cookies and pie. Pin up the stockings along the broad mantel, Santa may come in the wink of an eye. Off now to bed and the deepest of slumbers, Wondering if we have forgotten a thing; So we drift off into blissful oblivion, Dreaming of joys that tomorrow will bring.
