A favourite Christmas reminiscence dates again to 1968. That was the 12 months Peggy Fleming received the Gold medal in Ladies’s Determine Skating. I had seen her compete in 1967 at Ak-Sar-Ben (Nebraska spelled backward) a venue that held livestock sneakers, ice skating occasions, concert events, and rodeos.
For sure, the world and I had been loopy about Peggy and determine skating. So Christmas 1968 discovered me waking as much as my very own ice skating rink my mother, dad, and nice uncle put collectively on a chilly and snowy Christmas Eve. It was magical! I had my very personal fur-trimmed ice skates, winter coat with a fur-trimmed hood, and toasty heat snow pants. And I might skate to my coronary heart’s content material!
My household all took activates our selfmade ice rink, twirling and swirling and having a ball. Afterward, we headed inside to heat up with a cup of sizzling chocolate loaded with whipped cream. It is a candy reminiscence of my household as I can vividly see every one in every of us as if it had been yesterday.
