Christmas Eve Hopes
As the starry sky calls to all to view in awe
Daylight has paused for stockings to be hung up
Dreams coming soon as the waiting children yawn
Elders will drink from their flowing yuletide cups

Christmas Eve will find folks filling up stockings
Fruits and nuts and chocolates to fill them high
As in the air carolers voices will ring
To all throughout the night will come many sighs

Oh, Christmas time, you make thee smile joyfully
Bringing the spirit of love and giving to mean
No one must do without and feeling sadly
As gifts from everyone are under the tree

And as they sit and realize they are blessed
May all they have done before help those with less

Beautiful! Reminded me of childhood Christmases with those stockings full of fruit, nuts, and chocolate.

Thank you and that’s how ours were. It was one of the few times that we had fresh fruit.

Us, too. One orange, a variety of nuts to crack open that we never got through the year, and a handful of hard candies. Great Christmas stocking.
