What is your favorite Christmas memory?  | | I have a lot of favorite Christmas memories,but I will tell you about this one. One Christmas I couldn't think of what to give my grandmother who was 80 years old or so at the time. I decided to get her a bunch of different "treats" that she wouldn't normally buy for herself. I basically went to the supermarket and created my own gift basket for her. There was candy, fruit, crackers, a jar of olives, nuts, etc. I packed it all in an ordinary box with tissue paper and wrapped it up. We always opened our presents on Christmas Eve at my parents house. When my grandmother opened her present, she was delighted. She acted like an 8 year old getting a new favorite toy. She was almost as giddy as Scrooge on Christmas morning after the 3 spirits had visited. Just seeing the happy look on her face was priceless. She told me that when she was a small child growing up in Stoke-On-Trent in England, she would get a single apple or piece of fruit for Christmas. That was it. I continued to give her a box of treats every Christmas as long as she lived. She always loved what I got her.

I'm trying to think of my favorite Christmas memory. I have not really given a lot of Christmas presents that weren't from a dollar store, because I am still young and I don't really have any kind of responsibility to give presents yet.
This year, though, since I have been getting money from MyLot and I have been learning to use eBay, I have had the ability to look through a lot of things and buy everyone in my family something that I thought they would at least like. So, I think I am going to say that my favorite Christmas memory hasn't been made yet.

We took her home and she just sat there while we ripped open our gifts, she was so cute just laying there on her Christmas blanket. I think she fell asleep while we cleaning stuff up.
