Maybe a sincere note to Kris Kringle under your pillow might work.

Snowingsnowingsnowingpelletspelletspelletsslickwaterslickwater.

Memories of weighing 55lbs.

My father carrying me up the long steep hill, behind his sisters house in
Pottstown,Pa.

The layer of ice was at least an inch thick over three feet of snow.
Every step he took, a moments hesitation as his booted foot broke through,
the ice chafing his shins I imagine.

He set me down on my stomach, gave a right good push on the soles of my boots, my arms as wings.

No trees to crash into, simply a marvelous time, the hill had undulations that
kept the descent speed variable.

Years later, I realized just how much effort he put forth that day.
Thanks Dad.
