The other day in the car we were listening to Christmas carols and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" came on the radio. As we sang, we got to the line "Here we are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore". Our 6 year old promptly asked me "Mama, what does 'yore' mean?".
Of course I couldn't just give him the answer. I had to sing the line to him again. Loudly. And with a southern twang. Just like the one my friend Miss Amy has. As we were giggling, he began to understand from the context clues in the line that they were days from long ago.
He then said, "So, when you were a kid, a long time ago, those were days of yore?". I quickly corrected his mistake and told him that it was longer than that. Like when his great-great-grandparents were children. Satisfied by my answer, he asked me to turn up the Christmas music so that we could sing...without the southern twang.
What decorations or pictures do you have from "days of yore"?
We would love for you to share them with us over at nightlightstories@gmail.com or on our Facebook Page.
