What is your favorite childhood Christmas memory

[Happy hen lover]

We would leave my Mom's side on Christmas Eve after dinner and go to Dad's side to play bingo eat tiny finger sandwiches till time for midnight mass. Great memories. One year when I was 5-6 they made me imitate " Elvis"singing " blue suede shoes" with an air guitar before I got my presents! I had a swirly skirt with glitter on it. Ha ha

Hahaaa, sounds like fun! I don't think I attended a midnight Mass till I was older, in my teens. Went to the church on sherman and Alameda, do you know it?

Probably the year we went to Tahoe. Got to enjoy the snow and go skiing. We went for weeks in a row too, because we had a season pass of some sort. There are so many memories that I have had there. Whenever I think back, I laugh.

How did you feel about all that snow?

No good memories here never celebrated holidays living with two alcoholic parents.

Another, very special memory was the Christmas Eve service at our church. After Pastor's message, we all lit candles that we held, turned down the lights in the sanctuary, and sang Christmas carols, together. The children were allowed to choose songs, after the more traditional hymns were sung - and we would sing Jingle Bells, Frosty or Rudolph ☺

I'm so sorry
Merry Christmas, here in our group ❤

My favorite Christmas gift: I think I was 11. All I wanted was a parakeet. Desperately. Mom played down my request, so I wasn't very hopeful. And when gift-opening came and went - without my bird, I was secretly disappointed, just the same.

Then Mom snuck over to our neighbor's house and returned to the livingroom with my beautiful little GiGi. And the rest is history. I loved her more than anything

My favorite Christmas memory is going around the neighborhood singing Christmas Carols. One year we sang carols on horseback.

I enjoyed a lot that happened on the snow! We were crazy children...trust me. I love skiing though!
