Yesterday I wrote about the importance that I place on holiday traditions.
Earlier this month I wrote about Santa coming to Rockport and the tree lighting. I got a lovely response from a Facebook reader that shared her own Rockport holiday memory.
When we were little Children we lived in Gloucester…we would come in the bus to Rockport …we would get off the bus at Dock Square and join the other lined up kids..watching for Santa… to come down the hill in his sleigh…it was loaded down with …nuts candy and fruit..in a big stocking…for every child ….then we would run ahead of mother and dad to get to our Grandfather’s house on Summit Ave?..he was a night watch man at the railroad round house….he would always give us a report on what Santa had to say to him as he dropped off our presents…he told us how each of the rain deer were ..and …would be happy to get back to their nice warm house back at the North Pole…we believed every word he said ..my sister and I
Her response made me start to think….. What about the rest of you?
Anyone else up for sharing their favorite holiday memories in a comment below? Please do….I’d love to hear them!
