Simple Celebrations

With cheerful hearts we join in celebrations in our simple, quiet upstate town and Main Streets' decorations look so pretty laced with the snowflakes that are falling down We'll take a ride to look at all the houses that delight us with their bright displays and when we go downtown to do some shopping we hum to carols that the speakers play On Christmas Eve we gather with our neighbors with our families and beloved friends and happily as we are joined together our hearts fill with the joy this season sends As we are sharing goodies and our laughter Christmas songs play on the radio* These simple celebrations are a treasure that I have been so blessed to come to know *One tradition that I love in the small upstate New York town I live in is that our local radio station plays Christmas music from Christmas Eve through Christmas Day and always seems to be a part of our gatherings. They play music on Main Street throughout the year but the Christmas tunes are always the loveliest! Inspired by Carolyn Devonshires' Christmas in Your Town contest
