Mechanical figures skated in circles,
in the department store window,
while carolers sang holiday songs,
and colored lights glowed in the snow
In the next window a rotund Santa
getting ready for his special night;
with elves loading Santa's sleigh,
Rudolph and the gang ready for flight.
The next window beheld sugar plum fairies
and candy canes of red and white;
a working train, Santa's Express,
chugged around the tree to the children's delight.
I remember those jaunts down city sidewalks,
store windows dressed in holiday cheer;
viewed as magical through a child's eyes,
all precious memories of moments held dear.
