13 December

Notes From Christmas Past (gotta LOVE those couches, green carpet and curtains!):

My parents always did everything to make every Christmas special. We always had a fake tree with a special star on top we called the "eat at Joe's" star. My Mom always had to get that one "picture" of us in front of the tree before we were allowed to open our presents (LOVE her for that) and even then Dad only passed them out one by one. When we were older we always went to midnight mass on Christmas eve. I don't remember any particular special presents I received, but I do remember the special times together. I loved that we would always sing Christmas Carols as loud as we could belt out on the way home (in the Buick) complete with harmonies as we looked at the lights along the way on those COLD winter nights. Most of all I remember that we were always so happy. Those were the best times.
