It would be hours before anyone else was awake. I sat with a cup of coffee in the kitchen, just me and my thoughts about my father. He taught me what Christmas was all about.
Dad shook me gently. “Time to go!”
I rolled over on my pillow and squinted at the clock on the dresser: 2:00 A.M. Middle of the night for most people. For a milkman like Dad, it was the start of the workday.
When we kids had a day off from school, we had the chance to go with him. The oldest, I never passed up the opportunity. Especially at Christmas.
