Just thought I'd quickly right about one of my favorite childhood memories.
BA challenged everyone to do it!
It was when I was in 5th grade, Someone knew we were tight on cash and not going to get much of anything this Christmas. Then at 10pm Christmas Eve someone rang our door bell. I got up and saw a basket of food and presents but I knew that the perpetrator had to be close by and knowing the intricate cracks and crannies of our neighborhood I let one nano second go by before heading out on my bloodhound trail. I was running around like mad, then I caught a glimpse of him. A tall slender man in full black cat burgler-ish gear, jumping fences moving like a sonic jet around the corner. I got to the corner and he had vanished. I was full of excitement and dismay! He evaded me but I did get a glimpse, leaving us with wonder, magic and meaning! The glimmer of hearts touched in my parents eyes was priceless... a forever cherished moment!
