My Favorite Childhood Christmas Memory

When I received a letter from Santa before Christmas at the sweet age of four, you can imagine how thrilled I was.  Santa wrote that since I had been such a good little girl that year, he was going to show me one of his reindeer.  Needless to say,  Christmas could not come soon enough.  My mom awakened me to  the sounds of Santa's sleigh bells.  I ran downstairs as fast as my 4 year old legs would carry me.  And there to my surprise, Santa was outside the dining room window with one of his reindeer.  He never told me which one it was.  After that Christmas, I was a true believer for many years... Which reindeer do you think it was?  Do you have a favorite Christmas childhood memory?
