A Treasury Of Christmas Stories (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Three little figures bounced along in front of me, flashlight beams jerking spastically around, revealing split-second images: fencepost, pasture, dirt, packed clay, yellow coat, green cap. My husband reached over and held my cold hand in his large, warm one. He squeezed once to let me know he was aware of my gloomy mood. I stepped up my pace, determined to outdistance the shadow of sadness that followed me, so as to share in the joy of my family’s winter ritual. This was the night of our “cold walk.” It was a perfect night, really. Rarely in our South Texas climate does the first cold night of the season happen to hit on the night we first turn on our Christmas lights. But on this night it had happened. We were able to take our cold walk with the added bonus of viewing our Christmas lights from a distance. After a long, extremely hot summer and a short indistinguishable fall, the first cold front to blast across Texas is a noticeable event.
