Spirits of the Season

I miss the ghosts of Christmas past,
The faces long since gone who graced
This festival with their presence.

I shall not name them, but they come,
Marching toward me, one by one,
With memories of fond moments.

It's too metrically regular to quite qualify as free. But it's closer to free than I usually write, especially since there's not a single pure end-rhyme!
