A Christmas Memory



     One Christmas Eve when I was a child, I got up from my bed and looked out the window.  I must have been about 7.   I saw Santa knocking on a neighbor's door across the street.  He even had a sack over his shoulder.  It seem so real.   Clear as day.

       I've always remembered that Christmas Eve.  I must have wakened from a dream.  Sweet memory.
