The frozen presents When you are 4 years old, Christmas is one of the best times of the year. One Christmas my son wanted a soccer net, a play workbench, a wagon and almost anything else you could think of. At my house, Santa usually gets my son what he wants, and that year was no different. We had stored the presents at my parents’ house so he would not find them. After having dinner with my parents, my husband loaded the truck with the presents to take home. But my son would not go to sleep. So we just put the presents on the front porch so it would be easier to get them inside as my son slept. We, too, fell asleep, and as we did, freezing rain and sleet began to fall. This froze all his toys to the porch. We had to get the hair dryer and the kerosene heater to get the toys unfrozen. I hope my son knows just how much Santa loves him. Shelley Goff, Gray’s Creek | South River EMC |
