Christmas is usually
a special time for any family, and that is true for
my family, as well. The essentials for Christmas were
all there; crumbs from cookies left out for Santa...freshly
fallen snow...egg nog...smiles...a tree...presents.
Oops.
Wait. I got carried away. We forgot to leave out cookies
for Santa. It was too warm for snow. No one in our family
likes egg nog. We DID have smiles...we DID have a tree...and
we DID have presents.
So all
is not lost, because Christmas is all about presents,
right?
Oh yeah,
and I have a disclaimer. Before you go any further,
please know that this contains pictures of various members
of my family before we've had a chance to look our very
best. If you want to save my family members embarrassment,
PLEASE don't go any further.
Unless,
of course, you WANT to laugh at me and my family, you
mean, heartless person!

Christmas
morning used to consist of waking up about
5am and waiting for my parents to let us
get out of bed to go open our gifts.
Now,
the excitement has died down a bit. Christmas
morning usually begins with my mother having
to wake us up. Instead of bounding out of
bed, we walk slowly into the living room
where our Christmas presents wait for us
under the tree.
Over
the next 40+ pages, you will take a journey
with me into the past and we'll take a look
at how my Christmas happened.
