Christmas

Mother said it was near Christmas when she was 4 or 5 (during the depression) and she was playing outside near the shed. She wandered into the shed and found a tricycle! She climbed aboard and came riding it out of the shed - proud as she could be.  Momo told her that Santa Claus was hiding that tricycle in there and she better take it back quick before he found out! She immediately rode it back into the shed. The next day, she looked for it in the shed, but it wasn't there.  At Christmas - she received that tricycle! She later learned that her oldest brother Hop had taken pieces of broken tricycles he found and had put them together and painted it to make it good as new for her.  What love he had for her!
