warm and fuzzy

Looking back on it Christmas has always been a wonderful time for me. I can't remember a year where i haven't had an amazing time. However their is one thing that sticks out in my mind. Normally kids think of Santa bringing the gifts they want stuffing their stockings eating a few cookies and descending to the roof to continue his excursion. In my house Santa did more then that, every Christmas eve my brother and i would go through our toy boxes and pull out any ones that were broken then we would line them up along the wall near our Christmas tree.

In the morning we would wake up bright and early wake our parents and rush into the living room. First we would tackle the presents all while being filmed (which is now a great form of blackmail) after we had relished in our new gifts our eyes would dart to the old ones lined up along the wall. With slight hesitation we slowly tested out the toys, Santa had fixed them, they were as good as new and we would spend hours playing with the toys we thought we had lost.
