THE SNOW WAS FALLING, ON THIS COLD WINTER NIGHT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE APPEARED A DIM LIGHT. IT SEEMED TO BE RISING, FROM THE EAST IT APPEARED, I TOLD ALL OF THE OTHERS, TO STAY QUIET AND NEAR. WE HAVE VISITORS, EITHER FRIENDLY OR FOE, WE CALLED OUR COMANDER, HE SAID TO LAY LOW. THE LIGHT GOT BRIGHTER, AND THE SNOW SLOWED DOWN, WE CROUCHED UNDER COVER, NOT MAKING A SOUND, WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN, WE WERE OUT HERE, THE SOUND OF A SCHINOOK, WAS NOW GETTING NEAR. LIGHTS FROM THE CHOPPER, LIT UP ALL AROUND, THEN SOMEONE APPEARED, REPELLING TO THE GROUND. WITH NO COMMUNICATION, FROM THE BIRD IN THE SKY, THE CHOPPER JUST HOVERD, WITH IT'S BLINDING LIGHTS. THEN CAME THE VOICE, AND A JOLLY HO HO HO, FROM BACK IN MY YOUTH, THAT SOUND I WOULD KNOW. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE, THE SIGHT THAT WAS THERE, DRESSED IN A RED SUIT, WITH SNOW WHITE HAIR. HIS SACK WAS FULL, AND HE HAD A BIG SMILE, THE NIGHT WAS STILL, FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT SANTA AND HIS SACK, BROUGHT CHRISTMAS TO US, IN NORTHERN IRAQ.
