Remembering the games we played
The laughter and the joy
Christmas was such a special time
Playing with our toys

Remembering you sneaking in
Thinking we were sleeping
Lying still and so excited
Really we were peeping

Remembering the snowy years
Out playing in the street
Coming in freezing cold
Mum warming our frozen little feet

Remembering our Christmas dinner
Grandparents with us to
Eating till we’re fit to burst
‘more potatoes’ OK just a few!

Remembering the decorations
That we had from year to year
The paper bells and strings of cards
Would suddenly appear

Remembering all the good times
Yes we had so many
And every year we think of these
Forever in our memory

And though our Christmases are different now
We have families of our own
We always stop to think
And remember the love that you’ve shown

So thank you Mum and Dad
For showing us how it should be
The loving, sharing and giving
That we pass on to our own family
