This past Christmas eve I couldn’t help but think back on that special Christmas eve of my childhood; the night that meant so much to me and I’ve remembered ever since. We had a 10 foot artificial tree in our living room, decorated beautifully with the spinning star on top. I was a fan of Matchbox cars and I really wanted the Matchbox Car Car Carrier that was in the Sears Christmas Catalog. It had an “attached” remote control and the carrier was very sophisticated for it’s time. The carrier detached from the cab and it was a double decker and the top portion tilted down to allow the vehicles on top to be removed.  I always opened my Christmas gifts on Christmas morning but that year, they allowed me to open my gift on Christmas eve. Amazingly, I can still remember every feeling I felt as I opened that box and saw the Matchbox Car Carrier. I don’t know if my parents ever realized how important that gift was to me.   So, I just want to once again say “Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.  and a Merry Christmas to all… and to all.. a Goodnight!
