Believe (and this is a true story)
The year was 1958 it was Christmas Eve
When the old gray mare was just a philly,
her Dad overheard her say she did not BELIEVE!
This he thought this is something quite silly
How had she become so deceived?
She was about to be ten and quite grown up then.
Her dad was a wise man. He hatched a plan
with the neighbor man. Together they
would make sure on this Eve the kids believed.
Twas late and all non believers were told to get themselves to bed.
Just as the silly philly was about to drift off into dreamland
there arose such a clatter of bells and Ho Hos she
sprang from her bed to see what was the matter.
She was about to look out the window, when up on the roof
she heard a thump thump thump.
Was it Santa about to land? Yikes she said
I better jump back in bed
It is Christmas Eve and all who now BELIEVED
were RELIEVED!!
Below is a photo of the philly Christmas Day 1958
That year my older cousin and I, were getting too big for our britches, started talking nonsense
around the wee ones in the family. My Dad and Uncle decided to put the Spirit of Christmas
back in our heads. Back then houses had allies between them. My Dad and my uncle met
in the alley with bells and a ladder.
One rang the bells while the other knocked on the roof with work boots.
Needless to say Mom was and still is very Thankful for her Dad and her Uncle
making her believe and to always be thankful
