Christmas With My Son

 

By Willis Craik

 
One of my fondest memories of Christmas was when my son turned five (5) years old.
 
Naturally, he'd been listening to the radio that my wife had on to a station playing "Christmas Music," while they all decorated the tree - and unfortunately, as a police officer I was at work.
 
On my days off, I took my some with me to do some "last minute" Christmas Shopping (Hey - I'm a "guy" - that's standard operating procedure - all right?).
 
On the way to the stores one day, the radio was playing the Mexican tune "Felice Navida." and my son began singing along with it:  "Police Naughty Dog, Police Naughty Dog...!"
 
I had to stop and pull over, I was laughing so loud that I couldn't drive safely!
 
To this very day, I still crack-up when I hear that tune and hear (in my mind) his little voice trying to mimic that song!
