All the ghosts of christmas past
all the things that will never last
all the strained smiles all the masks
this is what I see
weary parents crippled and old
beggers lining the streets
poor children faces blue and cold
dreaming of what they would eat
All the faces and stories untold
fly before me as if to say behold
for on this day
all the worlds ugliness must be pushed away
Yes the ghosts of christmas past follow me to this day
with all the things that will never last all the strained smiles and all the masks
but through it all I see one thing
that shines above everything
HOPE

When I lived at my aunts there were 6 of us kids and we didn't have any christmas presents. We were really sad that we couldnt afford anything and were making jokes about who needed christmas and everything when all the sudden their dad walked in with a whole armful of presents and his 3 stepkids along with his new wife. We each got two presents and I think that was the best christmas ever!!!!
