Everything Christmas

At out last family Christmas party in 2019, I had my cousins and I sit in the same order on a couch as in a photo taken at the 1964 party 55 years later. One of the cousins wasn't present for the early photo, so I had him take the newer photo. We are lined up left to right from youngest to oldest with the exception of my youngest cousin which I am holding on my lap in the 1964 photo. He couldn't sit on my lap now, so he's on the far right! The woman in the red vest and the man in the gray shirt are brother and sister as are the two end people.

Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage, There wasn't a trace of a Ford or a Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit, so I figured I'd mess with the old Chevy for a bit. I popped the latch and I lifted the hood, when a deep voice behind me said "Looks Pretty Good". Well as you can imagine, I turned pretty quick, And there, by the workbench, stood "Good old St. Nick" !!!

We stood there a while, not too sure what to say, Then he said "don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh???", I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin, But if you got the time we could go for a spin!!! His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, Turned into a smile as he said "Sure!!! Lets Go !!!" So as to not disturb all the neighbors retreat,,, We pushed my old Chevy quietly into the street,,, As I hit the key, the sound that erupted took him by surprise, But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes,,, With the four barrels wide open, and the headers a glow, We headed out to where all the old Chevys go,,,

And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears, with every up shift, as I went through the gears... Then he yelled, "Can't remember when I've felt so Alive", so I backed off the gas an asked "you wanna drive???" Old Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys, I noticed as he past the front bumper he shook at the knees!!! He was in awe as he gave a look around, then he grasp the chain steering wheel stomped the pedal down, the tires shook the ground!!! He slid the shifter into second an again into third!!! I sat there just watching... That stroker sounds so good... Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,,, "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...
WHAT A GREAT NIGHT !!!"
