An Old-Fashioned Christmas

Joyce O. Evans

Moderato

1. Have an Old Fashioned Christmas this year.

Spread the spirit of love and good cheer.

Hang some bright lights to greet the folks on the street.

Have an Old Fashioned Christmas this year.

2. Have an Old Fashioned Christmas again,

With plum pudding and gingerbread men.

Fill a big basket for the family next door.

Have an Old Fashioned Christmas again.

Bake a pie,

Bake a cake,

All the kinds you watch’d Grandmother make.

Take a ride in a sleigh,

Sing the old yuletide songs on the way.

3. Read the “First Christmas Story” again.

Offer peace and good will to all men.

May you capture the glow you felt long ago,

And may all of your loved ones be near

For your Old Fashioned Christmas this year.
