Ok it's that time of the year and I need some Christmas spirit. I want everyone to leave me a comment and tell me your favorite Christmas memory. Here is mine:
Mine was the Christmas of 1996. My Oma (grandma; my mom's mom) passed away the day after Thanksgiving. Ya that was terrible. Although the family always thought (and I still believe this to this day) that she knew that she wouldn't be around for Christmas. She was able to spend time with all of us and she was able to shop for everyone. She had one gift for everyone. We wrapped the gifts and gave them out. My gift was a Bugs Bunny tea pot. I still cherish that to this day. It sits on top of my fridge. I miss her but I look at that and know that she's still with me. I have a lot of childhood memories but that one always sticks with my heart. Ya it sounds sad but everytime I think of it I smile. I was really close to Oma. After she died that family fell apart little by little. That side hasn't talked to me in like 6ish years. I miss our Christmas Eve nights. Oma always has shrimp cocktail on Christmas Eve night so no matter what I ALWAYS have shrimp for Christmas Eve.
So what is your favorite Christmas memory??

i read, i read!!!
my favorite Christmas memory would have to be every Christmas Eve ... we all (children - minus my mom, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren) spend the night at my grandparents (for the past 5 or 6 years) and wake up together to see what Santa has brought us. We can barely sleep ... but it's so much fun b/c we get to spend it together and get to eat our big Christmas Day Breakfast all together before everyone goes seperate ways
I know, I know, I'm LATE! That's ok, because if the rest of your Christmas turned out sucky at least you can come back and read this and see someone else responded!
Anyway, this might be st00pid, but for some reason it stuck with me forever because it was my favorite gift..... many, many years ago, about 20 to 25 to be exact, my grandmother got me the origial Legend of Zelda video game..... I never felt such excitement and pleasure for so many hours in a row! From the moment I opened the gift, to putting it into my NES and playing it for about 48 hours non-stop! Cool game, and it's neat to see the new Zelda games out and I hope they make someone feel the way I did for an entire month. Not the most expensive gift I have ever got, but definitely one to me where that "excitement" did honestly last for about a month non-stop.
