Do You Have A Magic Holiday Memory?

This is my husbands memory, but I love it so I will share it.

H grew up on a farm in the Midwest. Nearby lived his grandparents and many aunts and uncles as well as other farming neighbors. H’s much older brother was away at college, West Point. He hadn’t been home for along time but was able to come home for Christmas.

This particular year there was record snow fall and the country roads were impassible. It looked like there was no point for the brother to come home. Everyone was terribly disappointed. My husband remembers a lot of commotion outside a couple of days before Christmas and low and behold all of the neighbors, aunts, uncles, everyone had got their tractors and whatever they had out and cleared the road from town so that H’s brother could come home.
