The frost clings to my window
As the blue grey morning light
Casts shadows on the green grass
It's a most unusual sight
While the bird that's softly singing
In my old magnolia tree
Is the very first to greet me
On my first Christmas in Tennessee

I fondly think of new friends
That I have come to know
Their kindess and their caring
On my first Christmas without snow
My heart is filled with gladness
For this gift God gave to me
Knowing Christmas in Tennessee

I've never understood so well
The meaning of true giving
As I've learned from my new neighbors
In this land where I am living
My heart is filled with gladness
Trading hot chocolate for sweet tea
To have the chance to be here
Spending Christmas in Tennessee

The sun begins to shine on me
In a sky so rich and blue
It puts a smile upon my face
Because I know it's true
That I have truly been blessed
With a special gift to me
A full heart, a peaceful mind and
It's Christmas in Tennessee

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. A good friend that I have made here told me to keep the hope in my heart, that Tennessee has a way of healing when no one else and no place else can. She was right. I hope you all get to spend next Christmas here.

I had such a longing to be in TN today. On the radio I heard a song about a TN Christmas and I counted my blessings that we are in the process of moving to such a wonderul place. I have faith that all will fall into place for our family and we will be blessed.
