One of my favorite Christmas memories took place three years ago. It was our first Christmas with my daughter. My husband had 2 back surgeries earlier that year and my daughter came two weeks after his second back surgery. We had no money and was at the lowest point we had ever been. Having two […]

In 1988, I was pregnant with my 4th child. I developed complications that landed me in the hospital in Houston for 3 months. It was Christmas Eve – all my family was at Mom’s celebrating Christmas – including my husband and 3 children. Hard as it was, we were trying desperately to keep up traditions and […]

I would have to say it is the Christmas that my mom got me and my sisters one of those plastic play kitchens. I remember hearing her putting it together or what I thought was her putting it together. Christmas morning we woke up and there was my mom and this beautiful new toy for […]

I think it was when my daughter was about 6-7 she really wanted a electric scooter. We attended the BCS Parade that year and she had her letter ready, but we forgot to put a return address on it. So I searched frantically for a pen as Santa came and passed. A Bryan Motorcycle cop […]

Camping at Lake Livingston State Park in a travel trailer. We had all of the kids with us. Had a little bitty Christmas tree with the presents all draped over the seats. When the kids woke up we read the Christmas Story from Luke 2 and opened presents. After that we ate breakfast cooked on the […]

When I was young, my family would have a big wagon of dozens of different toys (we have a big family & money was kind of scarce) near the bon fire. All us kids would pick out toys each to bring home & we would play with them out in the pasture. This is my […]

Christmas Day 2017, my High School ,and still best friend, came to my house to exchange gifts. Some backstory on my friend’s family is that every family gathering of theirs was filled with anger and decade old grudges. Some of her relatives had even been disowned for rather small matters While my friend was there, […]

When I was little there was six of us in the house and my parents didn’t make a lot of money. One Christmas my dad, who was in construction, got laid off and we only had mom’s secretarial income to support the family. Dad was an awesome welder and could think outside the box. Mom and […]

When I was a young girl, we would go to our Mamaw and Papaws. We would act out the Christmas story, before we opened presents.

My Mother entered a Nursing Home in Waco the week before she died. She wished to celebrate Christmas so my wife and I went out and got a prelit Christmas Tree for her and her neighboring roommate. The children’s choir from 7th and James Baptist Church came to sing carols. She lost consciousness during the […]

I remember my little girl and little boy, ready for Christmas and all excited, coming home from school with their pictures of Santa and the little gift they got.  Me being a single mom, made it sweet and I thanked God that I did have a little extra so I can put presents under the […]

My favorite was the Christmas I got engaged. My family knew but I had no idea. He waited until we had opened all the gifts. I was so stunned I didn’t say anything so he had to ask again.

My favorite Christmas memory is making cinnamon rolls with my mom. Every year, since I was five years old, my mom and I have spent a day baking our family recipe of cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls are special because the recipe is from my grandmother, who passed the recipe to my mother, who passed […]

My favorite Christmas memory was when I was 5 years old. My brother Clint and I was told to stay in the hallway that Christmas morning. At the end of the hallway wall a full length mirror. I remember my brother having me look in the mirror and say “Happy Birthday Jesus!” My brother passed away […]

About 4 years ago my family and I decided to get out first real Christmas tree and we were so excited! We picked out the perfect tree and got it tied down to our car and we were ready to go. As we headed home part of the tree was inside the car and we […]
