Did you see the moon last night? She was well hidden by the dark storm clouds,
and would peek out every few minutes reminding me of lost memory moments of
past Christmases. Kaleb’s second
Christmas he had just turned 1, he was between crawling and walking. We had no money so we bought him a second-hand
plastic riding horse with wheels for $5.
Instead of wrapping it we put it inside a pillowcase, and I so remember him
crawling inside the pillowcase, which left only his legs and diaper sticking
out as he tried to back out with the horse.
And then there was the Christmas Kaleb was around 2 or 3 and he came
into the kitchen with blood dripping from his mouth. He had pulled a small glass ornament off the
tree and bit into it thinking it was candy.
After that experience, we only had wood or paper ornaments on our trees. After the 1989 rare snow fall, I have fond
memories of the whole family making snowballs from the snow left on the two
cars and making a miniature snowman. Make
Christmas memory moments this year to be unwrapped years from now as an inside
smile.
