To see the New Year in.

A pessimist stays up to make

Sure the old year leaves.

Chapter is New Year’s Day.

is a greater gift than a steak dinner

Served brusquely.

Old Time Christmas

120618 OLD TIME CHRISTMAS

OLD TIME CHRISTMAS

Tricycles, bicycles

Candy canes and candlelight

Tryin’ to stay awake all night

To catch a glimpse of Santa’s reindeer

Mama bakin’, sister makin’

Angels in the fallin’ snow

Now it seems so long ago

I wish they all were here

Friends singin’, bells ringin’

Snowman standing in the yard

It’s a living Christmas card

Captured in our hearts forever

Friends scatter, it won’t matter

The magic never melts away

It only takes a Christmas day

To make it reappear

Chorus:

We’d have an old time Christmas

An old time Christmas

Just like the ones from yesterday

We’d leave the world behind us

Let the spirit find us

And have an old time Christmas

For old times sake

So leave the world behind you

Let the spirit find you

And have an old time Christmas

For old times sake

- Aaron Barker, John Jarvis
