RE: The BLACKLUX Party - Day 6 - Christmas Memories - Share One of Your Favorites!
All my favorite Christmas memories are when I was young and our family was together. I can remember the voices, the smells and of course the food. My favorite part was inching my way under the Christmas tree and staring up into the tree with all the lights. I can remember the pine smell (I am catching myself taking a deep breath as I type this...LOL!) My Mom and Dad were not rich, they were factory workers. They would hand me the Sears catalog and let me pick out 4 items and told me Santa would bring me two. And Santa always did. I would write my letter to Santa and we would take it to the post office to mail to the North Pole. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was a Raggedy Ann and Andy doll that were 36" tall. I was just about that tall at the time. They looked huge to me at the time. I still have them. I must have been a good girl that year.
I can see you under the tree looking up! that must have been a great view! We always had too much under it - so, I never thought of that as a kid :)
Those are such great memories! It's amazing how our memories of fragrances, like the piney-ness of your Christmas tree, can be so strong. My sister and I were just talking on Christmas Day about how we would go through those Sears catalogs so much! That's neat you still have your Raggedy Ann and Andy, too! Good girl, indeed! : )
