When I was about four, I was sleeping in my sister's room with her on Christmas Eve. I ... think it was decided that we'd do it that way so as not to wake up our mom at five in the morning with excitement? It might have been so that we didn't knock over the tree running around. Anyway, Christmas Eve, I'm four, and it's the middle of the night. I woke up because I thought I heard something. Now, I was not willing to get out of bed, because that's what naughty children did on Christmas Eve. I could, however, look out the hall window from bed, so I did.
And I saw Rudolf's glowing red nose.
There was frost on the window and it was hard to see out of on the best of days, BUT I SAW THAT GLOWING RED LIGHT. And I knew that Santa was there. So I hurried to go back to sleep and be a good girl.
My mother was shocked to hear that I saw the reindeer. A decade later, I realized it was probably the lights from her car when she was pulling gifts out of the trunk, but Rudolf is far more magical. Besides, who else could have eaten the oats and carrots we left in the yard?
