What is an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __ a boy said to his mother one day?
After she thought for t while she would venture to say,
After thinking it through and wondering awhile,
She tried to portray to him the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __style.

You see the Holiday Season we all know of today,
Often seems a far cry from what this season should portray.
People crowd in the stores buying many GIFTS __ and TOYS __
in far to large a quantity for all the girls and boys.

In the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __, things were different you see.
Far fewer GIFTS __ then, there seemed to be.
So they were all given with love beyond measure,
Making the giving a wonderful treasure.

In the OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __ the best GIFTS __ of oil
Were those of goodwill or perhaps a token small.
TOYS __ were not given in excess by score.
But many GIFT S__ were homemade and not bought from the store.

So if an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __ you wish no to see,
Remember the quantity of GIFTS __ is as unimportant as can be.
THE OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __, let's all now start,
By remembering, my friends, it begins in each heart.

Through the giving of kindness and goodwill to all mankind,
An OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __ we certainly can find.
The GIFT S__ with a meaning in the season play a part,
With an OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS __ begun in the heart!
