Snow Blanket Holiday *When I was a young kid, christmas time at my house was unique. My two brothers and I would as always, go to bed early...nine or ten o' clock or so...and we were thrilled that Santa would be coming and bringing presents for us. At somewhere close to five o'clock in the morning, both my brothers and I would wake each other up and go sneak into the living room by the christmas tree to see what Santa brought us. It was fun trying to be quiet because mom and dads bedroom was right next to the living room. We would be looking at all the gifts and trying to find our names somewhere on the present. All of a sudden a flashlight from my parents bedroom would flash onto us and dad would yell, "Go Back To Bed!" We would scream, grab our stockings and run back to our beds! We would pull the covers over us and with a flashlight, we would see what our stockings had in them. Ah those were the days! They were the times of the Snow Blanket Holiday! ............a true story. .... ~Johnny M. Piper *HAPPY HOLIDAYS!*
