A simpler life

Remember those times,

going up to the store,

Mom and Dad would be smiling,

As we begged Santa,

for gifties galore..

Life was simpler then..

Ooh..

Ooh..

Simpler then..

We’d go through that store,

Begging for this and for that,

No face in a phone..

Just our coats and our hats..

Hoping to be good,

To get a check on Santa’s list,

Then we drive home singing.

It’s time for Christmas,

Life was simpler then..

Ooh..

Ooh..

Life was simpler then..

As we pulled into the drive way,

We always played in the snow,

Making frosty the snow man,

With our hearts all aglow,

And laughing by snow fight,

Though we were already cold,

Mom would call us in,

for some chicken soup,

A warm hug with a kiss,

Cuz Christmas is coming soon..

Life was simpler then,

No texting or tweeting,

Or staying back home,

We all got together,

And watched home alone,

Some with pizza,

Some with a bird,

Some dressing up,

Or reading God’s word,

No matter what you did,

I’ll say it again..

Life was wayy simpler..

Back then…

As we laid down for bed,

A Christmas story on T.V,

We soon drifted off,

Thoughts of red rider and Ralphie,

For it was a simpler time back then,

Ooh.

A simpler time back then..

The next morning, we awake with a smile,

Santa paid us a visit,

With Rudolph heading each mile,

The family would be over,

Then the real fun begins,

We don’t want it stop,

wish it never ends..

After a big meal,

We dig into the presents..

Sharing was caring,

That was our biggest lesson,

As I begin to wake up,

it was all just a dream..

A tear forms my eyes,

As I begin to scream..

Life was simple back then!!

Ooh..

Simpler back then..

For I am a grown up in 2025,

The world has changed so much,

This I cannot deny,

The times have made us,

Christmas with a phone,

Because many would rather Facebook,

and be all alone,

You have to admit,

Life was better back then..

Oohh..

It was wayy better back then..
