Blood Red Evergreen Memories by Janet S Rogers

Blood red berries nestled in evergreen thorns

White berries of Mistletoe over the door

Kiss for the season and time of year

Present stuffed stockings filled with Christmas cheer

A table laid full of Christmas fare

Perfect roast turkey and Tatties to share

Crackers to pull, Christmas pudding with cream

Grandad in his paper hat a sight to be seen

Serviette tucked under his gravy stained chin

Dad with his pint and Nan with her gin

Sucking segments of Satsuma tries to keep her teeth in

Speculation on what the Queen may say

In her speech to the nation this Christmas day

Grandad dosing in the armchair

Disinterested grunts pretending to share

Sweet memories of childhood of Christmases past

Of a child in a manger of Angels and stars

The traditions of Christmas bring a smile and a tear

Draw ghosts of the past close to those who are here

Remembered a moment one day of the year
