I always wondered how he got in, We didn't have a chimney and we were always sure to lock the doors and windows at night, Christmas eve still holds a sense of magic in my mind, I remember sitting up waiting to hear him come, Maybe I'd hear sleigh bells, Perhaps see him fly acrossed the sky, I always fell asleep before he arrived! Falling asleep was always next to immpossible on that night, I gave it my best shot yet it still seemed to take forever, I'd tell myself, "The sooner I fall asleep the sooner tommorrow will come," It never helped! Christmas Eve of 1987 I was five years old, We were at my grandma's house and I was in her bed, Just as entered the realm between sleep and trying to sleep I heard it, Was that sleighbells? Could that be hooves in the driveway? YES that WAS the front door creaking open!!! I ran from room to room just to see where everyone was, Everybody was in there beds and all was accounted for, I dashed back to my grandma's bed and peered out the window, A SLEIGH! REINDEER! I crept quietly down the stairs and into the living room, SANTA! It's really him! Of course years later I discovered it was all set up by my mom, She figured after five years of waiting that I deserved a glimpse of what made christmas so magical to me, I still catch myself listening and waiting for him from time to time, Who says the magic has to die? To decide to have a child is to accept to forever have your heart go walking around outside of your body |
