On This Special Evening

Cathedral bells are ringing

It’s Christmas Eve and

Snowy horses are teaming

Pinch me, I must be dreaming

Santa comes this evening

Get the chocolate hot and steaming

Sparkly stars will be streaming

As the cathedral bells keep ringing

Christmas lights are blinking

Little children hearts are beating

Waiting to see what Big Santa’s leaving

Author's Note

Just memories of how special Christmas Eve used to be for me as a child. We always had a big party at my Grandmother's house. Lots of food and fellowship. We opened presents. We went to midnight mass. Then Big Santa came to visit! A lot in one evening.

I loved walking round in the city centre as a child seeing Christmas lights everywhere. Those were the days.

This definitely holds the mysticism we all felt those long Christmas eve nights as kids. Wonderful work.

It 's a christmas eve which everyone dream of.
Christmas eve now is not like this, your poem reflects out a old christmas eve, and the best christmas eve. How I wish I will have a christmas like this!

This does sound like Christmas eves of long ago. I still love Christmas but its different for children, there's just so much excitement that builds and builds until the big day to open presents.
