When I was a little girl, we just to run down to the end of the front walkway and look up at the stars, past the big fruitless mulberries, and try to get a glimpse of Santa.

This was the last thing we did before we went to bed for the night before Christmas.

Most years, we found him.  It wasn't easy, as you had to know what you were looking for . . . the nose of Rudolph.  Eventually, though, we would see his brightly-lit nose going from one place to the other across the horizon of West Texas.
