Gifts on my wish list

By Warren Bolon Sentinel staff

The best gifts don't need occasions. They only need the impulse of Christmas unconfined by the calendar. I believe that when we remove the obstacle of limited expectations, and reject short-sighted concepts of the most desirable gifts, good happens. It's an underlying law of the cosmos.

A few years ago my brother's family drove from Virginia to Vermont for a week in the place where I learned to love winter. Three young girls and their dog Katy tumbled out of the station wagon and crunched through the powder-dry snow to add their warmth to our home.

Christmas Day went by at warp speed. In short order, our expanded family had covered the floors and furniture with boots, mittens, socks, stray sweaters, books, wrapping-paper shreds, food fragments, kid toys, dog toys, dog dishes, and all the miscellany of vagabond Americans on holiday.
