Christmas in Dixie
Most families have a particular tradition that makes Christmas a special time. Since I was 10, my family has had it’s own tradition. Every Christmas morning, my father would wake my sister and I up by playing Christmas music. One particular song…Christmas in Dixie by Alabama. Ever since, that song has signified Christmas to me. When I hear it, it brings back memories of special holidays past. It makes Christmas feel real. For me the holiday season hasn’t begun really till I hear that song. Today I received a special surprise. I went to our city tree lighting ceremony and Alabama was there by special request. As the tree lit up, they sang Christmas in Dixie to kick off the holiday season here in Montgomery. It was a wonderful event that I’ll never forget. And it made me feel closer to my family.
That is such a nice story, Rayne. If it had been me I would have bawled my eyes out. lol
What a nice surprise!
Why Rayne, I never realized we lived so close together in neighboring states. That’s neat. And it’s a neat story too. I love Alabama. But then who could resist right? (grin)
