I wanted a music box with the twirling ballerina inside that poped up when the lid opens. I looked under the tree an it was not there. I went sadly into my mom and dads room and told them santa did not bring it to which my mom said "surely he must have brought it". I went and searched under the tree and it was there. I loved it and still smile today when I think of it. Thanks for bringing it back to my thoughts.Angela Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259497363075016359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-12876406005359012732011-12-20T20:58:18.051-08:002011-12-20T20:58:18.051-08:00Wonderful memories.

I loved singing in the choir, especially at Christmas time, in church, and for midnight mass. One traditional present that stands out for me was little crocheted houseslippers my grandmother would make for every grandchild...she had 37! and even a few great grandchildren before I was gone from home. She would ask us each to trace our foot, and give it to her with our names..then she would use that tracing as the tag of the gift!Even though we all knew we were getting houseslippers from grandma, it was exciting to see what color, or color combination they would be..and they were warm! have a great week, thanks so much for sharing your memories. xoxo ChristelChristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676037274916412592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-54693067846667202042011-12-19T18:23:27.676-08:002011-12-19T18:23:27.676-08:00I have wonderful memories of Christmas as a child....I have wonderful memories of Christmas as a child...midnight mass, the church bazaar, trying so hard to fall asleep Christmas Eve and all of the great fun in the morning.<br /><br />I have tried to recreate that for my children. I bake more than my mother did, but I don't have 7 children...she did her best. Financially, I can give my children and family more, but I am forever grateful for all of this. <br /><br />I enjoyed hearing about your Christmas memories. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3202465070162331558.post-4137661666545012982011-12-19T18:01:33.851-08:002011-12-19T18:01:33.851-08:00Missed a few days checking blogs :(

I love that you made sure to watch "A Christmas Carol" by yourself every Christmas Eve!<br /><br />We had good times at Christmas and like you, we weren't flush with money. But we always had gifts and we always had a lovely meal. Who could ask for anything more?<br /><br />Enjoy your family time and time away from the computer Jo.

I have many ...Oh what wonderful memories you have. I have many memories of my childhood Christmas', but one that stands out is the Christmas Eve I thought I saw Santa in my living room. I had a crack running across my bedroom door and while peeking through, I saw, or thought I saw, a flash of red. I threw open the door, and there stood mom and dad decorating the tree. They never decorated until Christmas Eve, and somehow, even though I caught them red-handed, it never did sink in. It was still Santa who did it in my eyes. Guess I wanted to believe so badly.<br />Marymxtodis123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583200601379394225noreply@blogger.com
