This past Christmas I will always remember the face of my son in law as I was unwrapping my last gift. He was grinning from ear to ear and his eyes were bright and shining. I received a back massager that I wanted, because I always used theirs. Best gift ever. Then later I was […]

My favorite memory is a Christmas Eve when I was about 6 years old. My dad was working the 2-10 shift that day. When he got home, Santa Claus had already stopped at our house. I got a baby doll that you could feed and change its diaper. I was excited and couldn’t wait to […]

We would pile up as many would fit in my mom’s expedition and drive through the lights at Belora park and sing Christmas songs so loud while drinking hot cocoa. It made my heart so happy.

While dating my (now) husband, he surprised me for Christmas several weeks early with a miniature dachshund puppy. I am very hard to surprise, and he had recorded the video of my reaction. I screamed, jumped up and down and even cried. It was one of the biggest Christmas surprises I have ever received, and […]

Every year when my PawPaw was alive, he would buy each of us a gift just from him in addition to the gifts my grandmother bought. His, though, almost always came from the dollar store and we all looked forward to seeing what they would be. One year, when I was in jr. high, he […]

My favorite Christmas memory had to be about two years ago when my family was at my parents house and we were opening presents and my kids and niece and nephews noticed how quiet it was. Then we realized that my parents dog Tres ( named after the number three in Spanish) had gotten out. […]

My favorite Christmas memory has to be the time my parents surprised us with a trip to New York City! All 7 members of my family were stuffed into one tiny New York apartment, but it is still one of my fondest Christmas memories.

My favorite Christmas memory was in 1999. My mother had cervical cancer and we knew she would pass on soon. We decided to make this her happiest Christmas. We had a lot of love and food. We took her around to see all the Christmas lights. We were so blessed to have that time with her. […]

My favorite Christmas memory was when I was 15. All my family was in town this year and we were all around the piano on Christmas eve singing all kinds of songs as my grandpa played. We then went to bed and woke up and enjoyed Christmas all under the same roof. We also jumped […]

About five years ago we went to our favorite restaurant and had planned on Skyping with our daughter Adrianna as she was many miles away serving in the Army. While everyone was ordering I looked up and standing there was my daughter in her uniform! What a blessing and surprise as well.

My favorite Christmas memory is from 2007–My husband and I got married 3 days before Christmas. Our wedding was surrounded with all the Christmas things (Christmas trees, poinsettias, lights, ornaments) but most importantly we had family and friends who rearranged their schedules to make sure they were in attendance! For our Wedding favors, I decorated […]
