| The one Christmas that really stands out to me was the year I got a Cabbage Patch doll! And I still have it! . I was always such a lucky child. My parents went above and beyond to make us happy. I was very very blessed.

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I too was always blessed at Christmas time, my parents went above and beyond to make sure everyone got what they wanted. My fav memorie, was the year mom made mashed turnips to go with the mash potatoes. Dad loaded up his plate with what he thought was potatoes, the look on his face and the expletives that came out of his mouth, when he realized it was turnips (he hated them) made us all howl with laughter. Mom knew it was turnips and watched while he loaded spoon after spoon after spoon with a quiet secret smile on her face, then burst out laughing as the first cuss word came out....which sent the five of us into gales of laughter. Omgosh I'm laughing now just thinking about it as I type this..... Even after he finished cussing, the look of love on Daddy's face as he looked at my mother...I just knew I wanted to marry a man that loved me as much as Daddy loved my mother. Daddy has been gone six years now, he sits and argues poitics with Auntie Joyce (his older sister) and Granmy...I can just imagine....how I miss him.

| I remember being very little,living in Fla,getting up on Christmas morning to a bubble hair Barbie in a beaded and sequined,white satin wedding dress (that my mother made),standing next to Ken in a black tux (that my mother made),Midge was there as the maid of honor. They were standing infront of the original Dream House. I still have Barbie,Ken and Midge. That same day I got to sit in my driveway and play with my little friends that also had Barbies and Kens. I still have the dress and tux and my mother later gave the pattern to me,so I could make clothes for my girls Barbies. |

| Daddy used to usher in Christmas by bringing home from the Farmers' Market downtown a box of fruits, nuts and huge, monster peppermint candy sticks(2" in diameter and 12" long). He'd get odd things like kumquats and persimmons besides the huge navel oranges, huge red apples and candied pineapple, apricots and some other dried fruits the farmers' wives made. Mother decorated the house so beautifully and Daddy hung the outside lights. We ALWAYS went to have pictures taken with Santa Claus and gave him our long lists. Afterward, that night, Daddy would drive us around to see Christmas lights all over. We always had a real Christmas tree and piles of gifts and my parents really outdid themselves with Santa's gifts. My brother and I would leave out cookies and milk and in the morning, crumbs in the plate and an empty glass and dolls, trucks, doll carriages, little farm and ranch sets, Cowboy/Cowgirl outfits, doll dishes, sports equipment, radios, games, etc. - a dream load of wonderful toys. My favorite Christmas was the year when my main present was a huge, almost lifesize Madame Alexander doll lying in a beautiful box with pink tissue paper, dressed in a pretty organdy-like blue and white dress with patent-leather shoes and white lacy socks. I carried that big thing to meals, to play, to play tea parties, outside/inside with me - whatever I did. I slept with her, changed her clothes almost every day and did her hair. She was my constant companion and wore my young arms out hefting her around until I learned to walk her. It was so slow to stand behind her and leg at a time swing her so she'd "walk" but way less tiring! I still have pictures of "Penny" and me together. I don't remember anything else I got that Christmas - just Penny. I guess it was my best Christmas memory as a child.

It was so much fun just shopping for it but the reactions made it memorable

YT 2000 Club Member | One of my favorite memories were of my two sisters and I playing in the snow. We would double our socks on our feet, put on our saddle back oxfords, double sock our hands and rush out early to a new fallen snow to build our walls for our snow ball wars. We would pound each other with snow, hooping and hollering then falling down laughing and make snow angels, swishing our arms and legs back and forth in the snow. Both my sisters are in heaven now, but I can still hear those three little girls giggling and feel the hint of snow on my face.

| My fondest Christmas memories was when I was probably 5 or 6 and my Brother was 9 or 10. This Christmas both of my parents were alive and Santa Claus had brought us Bicycles!!! We were given strict instructions we could not get up before daylight but of course we were kids and probably didn't sleep at all. My Brother snuck down our stairs to go into the family room and check out the gifts and some how knocked over both of the bicycles waking up the entire house.

| My fondest Christmas memory is when I was 5 and we were living in a one-story adobe house in Arizona. I was helping put out the decorations near the fireplace when I heard, "Ho ho ho" from the chimney. I ran to my mother exclaiming, "Santa is here!!!" The ho ho ho came from my father who was on the tile roof setting up the luminarias. My parents let me believe that Santa was visiting early.

| Growing up, I lived upstairs from my aunt, uncle and cousins. My Dad worked in the restaurant and club business. So Christmas Eve, my cousins and I were allowed to stay up late to wait for my Dad to come home from work. My Aunt would always save some strufoli, just for me, that my Dad's cousin would make. Now every year, I make strufoli and remember eating cousin Antonette's strufoli. |

| I don't have a particular Christmas memory. Hoping to create new ones this year. I do enjoy reading others though. Good topic. |
