Christmas Gift Memories: The Sled

One of the memories I have a Christmas as a child was the year when I received a sled for Christmas and my sister received a bicycle. That year was unusually warm and a sled wasn't usable because there was no snow. At the time I had requested the sled I was thinking that there would be snow to use that sled just like there had been snow all of the other Christmas days that I could remember. Needless to say I wasn't very happy.

However my sister was out riding her new bicycle while I was pining and wishing for snow. It wasn't fair that Santa would pull such a nasty trick on me. Why wasn't there snow to ride my bicycle down the hill? My sister was having fun and all I could do was sit on my sled wishing for snow.

I eventually was able to use my sled and had many years of fun but I sure was upset on Christmas day. It is often amazing what things one remembers about their young years.

Leave me a comment and tell me about something that upset you with your Christmas gift.
