| I have been making quilts for family friends as something physical to remember me by. My best memory was last Christmas (2009) when I finished 2 quilts for my daughters and 2 quilts for my grandsons. The looks on their faces was priceless. |

Since the weather was snowy, he could not go outside...My mom set up a blanket over a doorway at the end of the hall...We pinned a target on the blanket. He would shoot down the hall. I would lay on... MORE |

| Sometimes the best memories aren't storebought. In the late 50's, when I was small and lived on a farm, our Christmas tree stand was usually a 3 lb coffee can folled with dirt, but one year the tree my mother bought was too large to be safe in the coffee can. My Father went out the shop, found an ol... MORE |

| I loved the holidays because it meant making cookies with my son. He had no interest in the kitchen until Christmas when we would make up a big batch of sugar cookie dough and then we would bring out the very special cookie cutters, sprinkles, and icings. Our art was very impressive. Once he did los... MORE |

| When my son was born in late November my Mother went to my house and put up a brand new and beautiful Christmas tree. She also decorated my house to the max so when the newest little present arrived home we were able to enjoy Christmas immediately. That was 11 years ago and we still put up that same... MORE |

| A favorite tradition of mine as a child was going to pick out a tree . Nope,we didn't drive over to the empty lot in town where you could choose from rows of perfectly shaped cut trees trucked in from out of state. We went to PawPaw's farm instead, where there were volunteer cedar trees growing ever... MORE |

| When I was a child, many years ago, my family was poor; but we kids didn't know it. Our parents always reminded us to do for those less fortunate. In the time before fancy hand made 'stockings' we hung up one of our real socks. At some point I realized that if I chose one of my knee socks Santa coul... MORE |

| Several years ago, after decorating my tree, it fell over breaking numerous christmas ornaments, including a Christopher Radko ornament, called the Russian Knight, that I had hunted all over for, and as my mom said paid too much for, but I really, really, really wanted this ornament. As I was cleani... MORE |
