What is your favorite Christmas Memory? email this discussion to a friend?

Mine happened when I was 8 years old. My dad was living in Massachusetts and I flew out there to see him for Christmas Break. Believe it or not, I still believed in Santa Clause back then. My grandpa, who lived with my dad..."video taped" Santa Clause coming down the chimney and putting gifts under the tree. He even left a message for me on the tape telling me I was such a good girl that year. They even went so far as to put soot footprints on the floor around the fireplace. I know it sounds cheesy...but its seriously my favorite memory.

I was seven years old, and my grandmother was sleeping in my room that year. She kept me up all night, and when I finally fell asleep around 2am, she decided to wake me up at 3am and tell me to go wake up my mom so we could open gifts. I got up and woke up my mom and got in so much trouble. My grandmother was in the back ground snickering of course! She used me to keep herself out of trouble because she was to excited. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? I got in trouble, but my grandmother and I thought it was very funny. I would have to say that was one of my better memories of Christmas.

I remember putting our electric train around the Christmas tree every year. Whenever Mom would put gifts under the tree, she would need to not disturb the track of the train.

Awww what a special memory. I think that was a very creative idea that they came up with, especially for you to remember it even today! I wonder how many 8 year olds out there still believe in Santa? It would seem that kids are growing up a lot quicker these days and it would surprise me to hear of an 8 year old believer. My favorite Christmas memory would be leaving a message for Santa on my chalkboard and having him write back to me. I just couldn't believe that he could take the time out of his busy night to write back to me..hehe.

When I was 6 or 7, my family will have a reunion for christmas. We'll have games, food, etc. It was fun and heartwarming. Especially since we don't meet often.=)

Your experience was great!

my favorite christmas memory when i was living with my mom in massachusettes we use to all be able to decorate the tree together.then on christmas eve we were able to leave cookies for santa and be allowed to open one gift.now i keep the tradition with my children today it may sound stupid but its special to me.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AngEngland (151)  4 years ago

We always opened one gift the night before as well. But when we decorated the tree only Mom could do the lights. It was like her special thing. Now _I_ get to do the lights on my own Christmas tree!

awwwwww....isn't that cute? well my favorite Christmas memory was when we (relatives and I) donated food to the homeless. so nice to see eyes filled with gratitude.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AngEngland (151)  4 years ago

That's so sweet! My family always did a similar thing becuase each year we would choose one of our gifts that we had been given to take to a local group home as donations. Mom said it was important to give our best and not our junk. Those kind of lessons mean so much when you're a child don't they?
