The snow is falling out of the sky,
untouched , undriven there are no passersby.
As I look out my window and onto the street,
the icy snow shimmers like a glittery sheet.
My mind races back to the days of my past,
and memories of Christmas come like a blast.
Red lights and red bulbs on a silver tree,
family all around " That's Christmas to me"
The guys watching football on the edge of their seats,
the gals in the kitchen making dinner and treats.
We children decked out in our Christmas array,
in our grandparents' house on Christmas day.
We'd open our presents one by one,
and my- was that ever jolly good fun!
Singing Christmas carols around the tree,
everyone happy " That's Christmas to me"
Then on the table my- what a spread,
there was turkey, ham and plenty of bread.
After dinner was time for sweets,
cookies,pies and chocolate treats!
And when we came to the end of our day,
we said our good-byes and went on our way.
The Christmas spirit still glowing strong,
I wished it could last All Year Long!!
Our grandparents' house so cozy and warm,
was our gathering place every Christmas morn.
And all these memories are deep within me,
to now share with my daughter! That's Christmas to me"

Adding your comment:
A happy poem filled with delight! 
How can our children ever get the serenity of "Silent Night" when their minds are focused on what gifts will be under the tree...how many and who can outdo who. It turns into utter chaos and I want to escape back into what I used to know......family together, Christmas songs and a general good feeling of Peace (sort of like your poem describes) I enjoyed this very much and thank you for sharing
