Santa and his helpers arrived at the ski slop...

Santa and his helpers arrived at the ski slopes(滑雪场) to spread some holiday cheer.

It was told that 150 skiing Santas jumped on skis and snowboards for the 16th annual Skiing Santas event that was held at Sunday River ski resort in Newry, Maine. And the event serves as a festival’s beginning to the holiday season.

“It’s really fun because everyone is a little wild and crazy,” said Catherine Bolender, 53 years old. She has been participating for about a dozen years. “It’s a fun and festive event.”

Thom Bureau is a snowboarder(滑雪小子) and agrees that it’s amazing. It’s also unforgettable. “When you’re on the chairlift, you look back as you’re getting off and the whole chairlift is full of Santas. It’s fantastic, actually,” he said.

The event has become so popular that it’s difficult to get a ticket. Brad and Heather Cope are from Newton Falls. They said the online registration filled up in 4 minutes on November 30 and they were lucky to get the tickets. “We were both on our computers at noon to make sure we got them,” said Brad Cope who is a former ski guider.

Some officials say the event raises a little more than $3,000 for the Sunday River Community Fund. It is a local charity. Participants are required to donate at least $15 to the fund. In exchange, they are allowed to ski for free and can receive another ticket.

We arrived at the hospital only to find Dad weak, but his smile was as sure as ever. My husband and I had to work, so our relatives would help him get home from the hospital and look after him. But I wanted Dad to know that we cared about him, too, even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a family tradition (传统) when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home, each child would write a love note for their grandparents to find after we were gone.

So as I cleaned Dad’s room downstairs before he got home, I began writing notes. Some showed my love. Most notes were in his room downstairs where he would be able to find, but one note was hidden upstairs under his pillow. “Dad, if you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

My notes were a reminder (提醒的事物) of our love for Dad. Just like his medicines made him better physically (身体上), these would improve his mental (精神的) health. Several weeks later, I made a phone call to Dad and asked what he was doing. He said, “I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I am just reading the note you left under my pillow upstairs!”
