Many years ago my family had just moved into our first home in Tucson. My cousin was living with us at the time. Shortly there after dad lost his job. This all happen right before the Holidays. We were all young, but I think we realize that it would be a very small Christmas. My parents had asked us what we wanted for Christmas that year. It was a very simple list:
Dad- electric drill
Mom-a dress that fit
Katie-doll
Sarah-doll
Patrick- the biggest gift
One night we decorating a our little tree when we heard sleigh bells. We opened the front door and there was Santa coming out of his bright red Dodge truck. He had boxes of food and gifts for all. We talk to Santa for a moment and then he said that he had to go. Mom and Dad walked Santa out and ask who he was. All he said was " Merry Christmas" and then left in his red dodge truck. And what did we get from Santa? Everything on our list. A power drill for dad, a dress that fit for mom, Katie and Sarah both got dolls and Patrick a fisher price basketball hoop, the biggest gift of them all. To this day we as a family do not know who Santa was. In eyes of the Corning household, Santa lives! He just comes in bright red dodge trucks!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT
