I want to remember Christmas how I used to know
waking up at 7 a.m
just to peek at how many presents are under the tree
hoping to see some big black footsteps trailing to the empty plate and glass
Waking up mommy and daddy to finally get out of bed,
the snow was falling,
house toasty,
smell of warm fire spreading love through the house..
We smiled so big.
hugs going all around and jumping up and down staring in amazement
it couldn't end
Dad coming over with a big garbage bag for the wrappings, we all cried and sighed
The Grinch is stealing Christmas
Our smiles to try on our new sweaters, brought us up again,
and we all had a Merry Christmas
Author notes
Wrote it right here, tonight! December 16, it's a little cheesy, and could use some fixing up but I'd like some critiquing first on what you think and where is needing the work 
Thanks!
