I love Christmas.
My favorite Christmas memories are all of the family parties at my cousin Tricia's house up in Buckingham, PA. There is this gigantor hill on her property line (she lives on a farm. an empty farm lol), and my brother and I always love to climb it! It's pretty steep and we call it "the moutain." haha it's so fun! I remember one year I 'got stuck' and my brother had to threaten to throw me down the "moutain" to get me to move haha.
We'd always go over my Grandma's house on Christmas Eve and stay there until 11 or so at night. Then on the ride home, my brother and I would watch Santa (which was usually a random red dot in the sky somewhere) and try to beat him home! We always did, of course.
Last year on Christmas, I went with a family from church to a local nursing home to go carolling. It ranged from people who were up and moving around to some who were bed/wheelchair-ridden. That was quite a moving experience and I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to help some of them enjoy their Christmas even more, especially for those who didn't have any family or anything left.
There are so many Christmas memories I have, and I could just rattle them off.
I love Christmastime and I enjoy every day this time of year.
