Fresh Cut Pines, they fill the air
Dreams of a Winter Wonderland
As I come down the stairs singing.
Let it Snow, and the First Noel
That’s how it starts, that’s how you tell
It’s Christmas Time
It’s that time of year again
a time of seeing old friends
Memories of Christmas past, they fill my mind !
Setting up the Christmas Tree
Happy Memories, they comfort me
The Decorations all hung with care
Stories of how they all got there
Lighted Candles on the window sills
Fresh cut Pines, they fill the air
Dreams of a Winter wonderland
As I come down the stairs singing
I’ll be Home for Christmas, you can count on me
Stars in the windows shine for all to see saying
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
The presents are all open now
Friends and Family have come and gone
so many memories to store away
the good times barely fit in one day
How I wish Christmas Day Could Stay
Fresh Cut Pines, they fill the air
Dreams of a Winter wonderland
As I come down the stairs singing

as my wife and I were putting away the last of the Christmas Decorations, i realized how much I missed the smell of Fresh Pines in the house throughout the Christmas Season, and in thinking of that, it triggered so many great memories, and for that i am so grateful.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a great year !! New memories to cherish happen more often then you think. They are always with you.
