I Remember: Which twinkles more brightly -- the decorated tree or a child's eyes on Christmas morning?

I Remember: This past year because my kids were finally both big enough to get excited about it, and we were all together.

I Remember: After previously discussing how some kids may not even get a single present, my son (5yo) said after opening up something he'd really wanted: Dad, if I got so excited, imagine how excited someone who got nothing would be. Can we give it to them?

I Remember: On a Christmas Eve we had a horrible ice storm, but I was too little to realize its capablities. As I restlessly waited for Santa, a limb broke and hit the roof creating the thud of Santa's sleigh touching down or so I reported the next morning.

I Remember: One would absolutely have to be when I saw the Christmas Carol performed at the Fabulous Fox Theatre with my husband. When we went in it was a bitterly cold night, when we went out it was snowing. Fun how the cold doesn't matter then.

I Remember: One year I had a hard time getting set up. My son kept getting up and I was racing around on tiptoe. His dad was on watch to steer him away. We got to bed about 12:30. At 12:35 my son raced in saying "Santa's been here! Get up everybody!"

I Remember: When I was little we lived in military housing, and on Christmas Eve, "Santa" and lots of "elves" drove through town in a "sleigh," visiting the kids, and accepting a rum (sometimes with eggnog) from the parents - at every house!

I Remember: A tour in Augsburg, Germany: I had stayed up all night assembling a fiberboard stove and refrigerator (ordereed from Sears)for my five-year old. As the Christmas dawn broke, I put in the last screw. Whew!

I Remember: My DH and I bought our house and took possession 16 days later on Dec 15. We got a real tree that day and put it up. It was the most Charlie Brown tree I've ever seen, but it was our first!

I Remember: My Granpa carefully selecting a tree at the lot, then bringing it home only to find it was too tall. Gramma said he should cut off the bottom, but he always cut off the top instead.

I Remember: Fond memories of Christmas nights sitting by the light of the tree, children in bed, choral music on the radio, a Harvey’s Bristol Cream sherry in my hand, a box of Roses Chocolates on the table, and my hubby at my side. Ahh!

I Remember: Christmas morning when my son was one-year-old. He ran to the living room, saw the teddy bear the same size as him and bodyslammed it with the biggest grin on his face! It was priceless.

I Remember: One Christmas me and my brother Emptied a walnut, glued a spring on one half, filled it with junk and glued it back together. When my mom opened it, it flew apart spectacularly, and she screamed. Aaaah the joys of childhood!

I Remember: Going to the Punch Bowl (which is what we call a park here in NZ which has a big grassy dip just like a punch bowl) for the Carols By Candelight and watching as that couch somebody brought along 'accidentally' got set on fire :-)

I Remember: Turning out all the lights in the house except for the ones on the tree, sitting alone in the near dark singing Christmas carols--the more hymnal quality ones, that is. It's calming and I've been doing that since I was a little girl.
