Christmas Spirit

A lovely story by Laurie Brown in the Globe and Mail about rediscovering the spirit of Christmas. After the distractions and anxieties of preparing a happy holiday experience for her family, a happy childhood memory is recalled late at night on Christmas Eve upon seeing a solitary man being pulled along down the snow-covered street by a large sleigh-belled dog, reminding her of childhood Christmas Eves spent listening eagerly for the sound of sleigh bells on the roof.
