Random Christmas Memory #5


Sleigh bells. Yes, I heard sleigh bells. Every Christmas Eve, even once I became a Santa's helper. I asked my dad- to this day he swears he has no idea what I'm talking about. My sister never heard them.

The first time I did not hear sleigh bells was the Christmas after Hubby and I got married. Yeah, that's right- I heard them up until I was 22 years old. Hubby and I spent our first Christmas with his family in Texas. When I woke up Christmas morning, I have to admit I was a little sad that I hadn't been awakened in the night by sleigh bells.

I know what you're thinking. My dad was doing it the whole time, and he just never mentioned it. Well... if that was the case, then why didn't I hear them the next Christmas, when we were at my parents' house again?

I've never heard them again. I think it was just part of the mystique of Christmas growing up (I dreamed of them once, and it just carried on from year to year). Then, I just grew up. Drat.
