Winters Past by Bernice Schachter


Oh how I miss the Christmas past! Did you ever catch a snowflake on your eyelid and taste the coldness on your tongue? Our snow days in New Jersey were magical and wonderful when a carpet of white surrounded our home.

Oh how I miss the Christmas past! The smell of wet wool and the pot belly stove in the warming shack after ice skating all day. I miss the taste of chestnuts on an open fire warming frostbitten fingers and toes.

Now when I sing the ancient Yule time carols, another Christmas will pass with only my fond memories. So let us deck the halls with boughs of holly and when you don’t your gay apparel, may all our Christmases be bright.
