a Christmas moment

Two Decembers ago, I hung around after a dance event really late after it ended (practicing, I think). There were only a few people still there, and everyone was leaving. I sat on the floor changing my shoes and saying good-bye to people while my partner waited to walk me home. My friend Eric left the ballroom about fifty feet away from me, and suddenly he turned around and rolled a bell toward me across the floor. When I caught it, he said, "Shake it. Can you hear it?" Before I had a chance to answer, he gave me a smile and walked away.

I still have it.
