Your favorite Christmas memory?

[HillHound]

Anybody have a favorite Christmas memory?

 

For some reason, I remember sled riding with my dad when I was maybe 7 or 8 on Christmas eve.  It was snowing and all the houses around had their lights and decorations on.  Also, I remember having alot of fun helping my mother bake all the necessary holiday cookies, candy and pies!  

 

In fact, that's where I'm going right now-to my parent's house to help them eat some good holiday food!  

 

Merry Christmas everybody!   Catch you'all in a few days! :thumb:

Hmmm, I'd have to say it was when I was about 8 or 9, my sister got a bike for christmas and after my dad and I assembled we took it for some test runs in the fresh snow on the street.  Needless to say we crashed it in the snow banks several times.... Ahhh memories.

 

Although this christmas should be pretty good, lots of family, lots of friends, tons of presents, big meals.

 

Yep, christmas eve and day are probably the two best days of the years

Not sleeping the night before Christmas two years ago, instead spending the time going out every 20 minutes in the 7220 with the snowblower, trying to keep the lane open during the storm so the guests the next day could make it up.  Kept that tractor idling outside the house all night long, blew a LOT of snow that night.  Had a great time doing it.

I guess when I was about 13, my Dad got me a Ruger 10/22.

Mom didn't know about it at all.

I had been begging for a new squirrel gun for about 10 months.

 

Kinda like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story".

Christmas 1995, I was 10.

 

I got my first Computer (BTW, this is the computer I still presently use).

 

Well, one of my traditions is I  open presents in the dark (5:00AM) with nothing but the lights from the tree on.

 

Well, They (Mother and live-in Grandmother) Took it out and set the Monitor & Tower infront the coffee table, and when I came down I yelled "What the H#ll is that?! A Copier?"

"What the H#ll is that?! A Copier?"

And she's still making good copies to this day...
