One of my favorite memories are when I was about 3 years old. (That's a long time ago LOL) Santa brought me a rocker and a four legged teddy bear. Believe it or not I still have both of them. The Rocker sits in a corner in the living room.
Best Christmas ever ... when my Father invited all family to spend Christmas together in the small cottages in the woods. We all come from different countries and my Dad paid for all airline tickets for all of us . That was the biggest family reunion and the nieces one. We had huge sleigh ride, fire pit on the snow , all the fun you can imagine. Best Christmas ever !!

One of my favorite Christmas memories was when I was around 2 years. I was looking down the stairs and couldn't believe that I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. I will never forget it.

Another memory I have is helping my father decorate the Christmas tree. Each year he did something different whether it was making ornaments of flocking the tree. It was always fun and unique

One of my favorites is my sister sneaking me glog at the Christmas party we were bored to tears at at the ages of 16 and 18. She wasn't supposed to be drinking it either but my dad thought 18 was old enough. So he's sneaking it to her, she's sneaking it to me...I fall down. Hehehe

I think my fondest memory of Christmas would be the year I was 7, My brother was in the Navy and had gotten a leave but had to be back on base by midnight Christmas morning. It was so good to have him home if only for a short time. It was probably the last time we were all together for Christmas

Another one of my favorite Christmas memories is when my mother flew me and my little brother out to California for 3 weeks to celebrate Christmas with my Auntie. I was 10 and my brother was about 8 years old. Disney Land is so much fun at that age. I will never forget it.

As a kid growing up I always wanted bunk beds. The closest I ever got was when I was 5 or 6 my Grandpa built me bunk beds for my dolls and my Grandma made little pillows and quilts to go on it. My dolls slept there for years
Can`t top my previous memory of best Christmas, but all Holidays are fun and full of best memories with my family .We always spent them together and every Christmas is the best !

Ice skating at Central Park in New York City when I was about 12 years. My step-dad took me and my cousin ice skating and to a movie in the Big Apple. What a day it was. Happy Holidays.

When you are as old as I am now you have too many memories to remember LOL
I do remember when my children were little that we tried to surprise them with Santa's arrival. I do remember I made them eat breakfast before they could see the tree and presents. We always put the tree up on the eve and then after they went to bed decorated it. Those were the days!!!!!
