Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

At this time of year you always dream of those times when you were a child and enjoyed the Christmas season. Being out of school and hoping for snow to go sledding and throw snow ball at the other kids. The presents left by "Santa" or those you found and knew about ahead of time. My Mother thought she was good by having my Dad hide them in the back of a closet that had 2 bars and was therefore deeper. Little did she know I was a great climber back them and could climb up on the shelf and see all.

One year my Sister and her family who were stationed in Germany with the Air Force came home and of course that was the year I had the flu and we got 7 inches of snow. That was my first taste of wine because she gave me some to help me sleep and break the fever, needless to say I slept and the fever broke (I was 7 at the time).
