[Dailydrool] Harry Christmas story

[Laura Moravinski]

I’ve been reading the Christmas thread and just had to share.  One of my absolute favorite memories of my Harry was our Christmastime together.  You see, he had a very special talent.  Harry got, every year, a stocking filled with goodies.  Not that unusual, except for the fact that everything in the stocking was wrapped.  Sometimes even boxed and wrapped.  And on every Christmas morning, even after my daughter was born and old enough to open gifts, Harry HAD to have his stocking first.  He would make quite the fuss and would not let any of us settle in to open our things until he got his stocking.  And then, the magic.  Harry would take out each item, one by one, and open it.  He would pin the gift under one paw and tear it open with his teeth.  One by one.  His nose getting deeper into the stocking with each present.  After every last gift was out and unwrapped, he would nose threw his pile and pull out his favorite, usually a stuffy or a bone, and run through the house in sheer joy.  I cannot remember those images without a smile on my face.  People didn’t believe us, so they would bring by mini stocking filled with gifts just to see it happen.  Of course we also videoed it.  Americas Funniest Home Videos has nothing on us.

I’m hoping there are stockings hanging on the rainbow up there at the bridge.  I cannot imagine my boy this holiday season without his stocking.  

Hugs to all in need.
