Christmas memories

some of my favorite memories from christmas groing up....
1: my mom always made us a new pair of pj's
2: my dad LOVES the movie the grinch who stole christmas and every year we watched it and every year he would do this tip toe thing up behinds us and tickle our necks and say in a funny voice" And all the who's down in who ville" (You had to be there)
3: we always made plates of goodies for friends and neighbors.
4: one year me and Trista got up real early and went to get troy and adam and while I was keeping look out Trista was going to get The boys and ran in to the door instead. that in turn got the voice of mom yelling at us to get back in bed.
5: The year I found out there was no santa I was really sick and I remember going down the hall to get to the bathroom and my mom apeared in the hall trying to block what was going on in the livingroom. She kept telling me to go back to bed and in reply I threw up in the hall cause I couldn't get to the bathroom. I didn't care there was no santa I didn't feel good.
6: I remember being scared that there was going to be a stranger (santa) wandering around our house. so I would be up all night not with excitment but scared because of the stranger that was going to be in our house.
7: I remeber the year that the only thing me and Trista wanted was a cabage patch doll and when we got up for christmas all we had was some home made underware and a doll bed my mom had made us. They were great and we liked them but there was no cabbage patches. Then I cant remember if it was that day or a couple of days latter there was a nock on the door and when we opened it there was 2 cabage patch dolls sitting on the sstep. I still dont know what the story behind that was i'll have to ask my mom. I do know my aunt judy and grandma showed up right after that.
8: my parents always had our stuff devided up into piles with our stocking sitting in front of our pile.
8: we always got an apple, orange, and banana in our stockings.
9: we drew names and then we got to get a present for the person we drew and one year aether troy or adam got me a stuffed pink mouse. I love that mouse I still have it.
10: my dad and mom always tried there hardest to get us just what we wanted. they worked hard on christmas and I love them very much for that. It is now that I have a family of my own and went and stood in the cold outside of toys r' us to get matthews present for a price I could aford that I looke back and am very greatful for everything my parents went through to make christmas special and magical. i can only hope and try tomake my kids christmas as special.
