I remember my Te'te, my grandmother, telling me that a new pair of shoes at Christmas would help us have a fresh start: a new beginning to travel for the new year. I remember the shoes more than anything else, because that's what I looked forward to the most. ![]() The new ones were usually stuffed with chocolates, and maybe one other gift for each of us. We had a tradition in my family that on Christmas Eve, we would put our old shoes by the fireplace, and when we woke in the morning, we'd find brand new shoes that had replaced them. ![]()
