12. You were one handsome cowboy! Based on this glimpse into your childhood, I'd love to read your whole memoir!

Thanks for the memories. They made me think of my Christmases as a kid. At around 5 years old I’m sure I saw Santa by the tree putting together my beautiful navy blue doll carriage in what I thought was the middle of the night. Someone, I’m guessing Mom, gently steered me back to my room and tucked me back in bed only to wake up and run to the tree early Christmas morning. ❤️
