Patent Mary Janes - by Linda Jean (all rights reserved)

Christmas Eve was so magical, it was the best night of the year.
We'd get dressed up to go visiting all the loved ones held so dear.
To see their laughter and their joy,
Meant more to me than any toy.
And no night has ever made me feel the same,
As those Christmas Eves in my patent Mary Janes.

We'd head cross town, Dad at the wheel, Christmas songs on the radio.
Pretty lights on buildings and the trees made the world seem all aglow.
And when we'd get to Granddad's house, Aunts and Uncles and my Dad,
Would chatter on so merrily of all the good times they'd all had.
And the small ceramic Christmas tree, with it's little Christmas lights,
Lit up the corner of the room as I listened with delight.
Then too soon the giant wrist watch on the wall would let us know,
Merry Christmases and goodbyes, and we'd head out in the snow.

Our next stop was Mum's parents house, such a cozy little home.
So full of joy, so snug and bright, the most love I've ever known.
The little Santa and his sleigh, and the funny Christmas tree!
Granddad sure knew how to pick 'em...so sparse it was almost free!
And Nanny'd trick the neighbor men underneath the mistletoe,
While Uncle Mal would make us laugh, he always loved to joke.
Then down the road we'd go, all of us, so happily!
To our final Christmas party, with friends more like family.

Christmas Eve was so magical, it was the best night of the year.
We'd get dressed up to go visiting all the loved ones held so dear.
To see their laughter and their joy,
Meant more to me than any toy.
And no night has ever made me feel the same,
As those Christmas Eves in my patent Mary Janes.

So many boots were on the landing as we made our way within.
Our shoes would come out of Mum's bag and we'd put them on again.
Granddad found a chair by the fire, coats on the bed added to the mound,
My little heart swelled to be there again, Christmas love was all around.
As we'd move from room to room we'd visit with them all,
A circle of chairs in the living room and a cuckoo clock on the wall.
And when the cuckoo clock struck twelve all the voices sang with joy,
For Nanny shared her birthday with Mary's baby boy!

So sad to have to say goodbye and then be on our way,
But as we'd climb the long and highest road we'd look for Santa's sleigh.
For the radio announcer said they'd spotted something in flight,
Could it be Rudolph's bright red nose leading Santa through the night?
"Now when we get home hurry off to bed"..Mum and Dad would say,
"And fall asleep as fast as you can, yes, Santa's on his way!"
Well now those times are gone, and so many from that night,
But the memories of joy and love, in my mind are still so bright.

Christmas Eve was so magical, it was the best night of the year.
We'd get dressed up to go visiting all the loved ones held so dear.
To see their laughter and their joy,
Meant more to me than any toy.
And no night has ever made me feel the same,
As those Christmas Eves in my patent Mary Janes.
And each Christmas Eve in my heart....
I'm with them again.....
In my patent....
Mary Janes......
