A COUNTRY CHRISTMAS
Oh, it's a country Christmas
That I am dreaming of,
With candles in the windows
And a home that's filled with love.
With children singing carols
As they trim the Christmas tree;
And Mother in the kitchen
Baking treats for you and me.
A church upon the hillside,
And moonlight on the snow,
Oh, it's a country Christmas
That casts a special glow.
~ Loise Pinkerton Fritz
This lovely, nostalgic poem sparks so many memories for me! How about you?
Thinking I want a Country Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteWe lived in the city, but I love this serenity this poem brings!
ReplyDeleteI have a church collection that I put out at Christmas. Love the poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! My grandmother always had the colored electric candles in her windows at Christmas and that is what I picture when I read the words "with candles in the windows".
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful scene. I've always wanted to go to a little village with a church like this for Christmas. After a week of researching vintage decorations, and now seeing this lovely card, I am resolved to find a few vintage cards to put into frames to add to my decorating. They are such a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't it beautiful, Pamela? And I can so relate to your love for the vintage cards. I have a small collection and I truly do use them, not just keep them stashed away. I've scanned them all, too. You can find a lot of neat, reasonably priced vintage items on Etsy, so you will want to check out that source if you haven't already.
