My Christmas Memories

I remember when I was a Kid we would be in bed by 8 Pm. We thought that Santa brought all the presents.My mother and grandma decorated the tree wrapped presents and dad would be there to put together anything they needed to be put togther.They would be up all night and several times we managed to wake up just before they would be coming to bed. We were lways told we had to wake daddy up before we could go down stairs.My mother would head back down and lit the tree. We would wake dad up and he would go down and we were told we could go down.We were happy with what we got. We didn't get much. but we were happy. We would listen to stories grandma would tell . Sometimes grandma would sneak off to bed after all the presents were opened and mommy would watch us as we played with our toys. She would sneak off after grandma woke up. and grandma would start making our dinner. we would go outside and play til we were called in for lunch. and we would once again play with our toys. We would watch tv and play. When dinner came we hate and played again til the time we had to go to bed. We would hear mom tell grandma Thank God It's over for another year.    


Thankyou Carol, I always kept Christmas special at least I tried to. You and your family have a Super Christmas!!!

Hi Ruthann,
I won't go into my Christmas memories growing up. But I wanted to make my children's experience very different and happy. I too would put the kids (3 sons) to bed early and then decorate the tree. I even put cotton on the branches to look like snow. I would wrap the presents before Christmas if possible and hide them.

I loved watching their surprised look Christmas morning when they saw Santa had decorated the tree that was naked the night before adorned with lights and ornaments and mini-candy canes.
Have a Very Merry Christmas!
A Christmas Carol :-)
