Dark City Vapor ***Christmas Contest !!!!***

Well my father died when i was 7. My dads side -my grandpa -grandma and 2 uncles help raise me. So at christmas I honor them by remembering the good memories and the difference they made in my life.

This memory is of my dad who died dec 2nd. I was 7 years old. He died on the road. he was a truck driver. For christmas i made a card for him. That made me feel a bit better. On christmas my mother hands me a present from my dad he picked up on the road a month before. It was a pilsbury dough boy rubber doll. I knew no matter where he was he thought of me and loved me. That was the best christmas gift i ever got.

Another reason i told this is for all the other people who have lost loved ones try not to let it get you down on the holidays -they would not want that. They would want you to celebrate their lives, memories and they will always be in your heart. So smile when you think of them.

Happy Holidays everyoen

i remember one year we didnt have enough money to get a tree so i decided to take the lights and tinsel i had and make a tree on the wall! turned out pretty nice! i made a outline of the tree with the lights and used push pins to put on the tinsle had the kids make a star out of cardboard and paint it to put at the top. they had such a good time making decorations for it they didnt mind it wasnt a real tree!!!

A great Christmas memory to me was taking the old Readers Digests and folding all the pages to make a Christmas Tree. I wonder did anyone else did that?

I remember one Christmas my husband and I didn't have the money to buy a tree. So we decided to go out in the country and cut down our own. Those trees looked like the real thing but they weren't the good kind like pine or cedar. It was some kind of scrub tree and the needles stung our hands and made them itch like crazy...I mean for days. We got it home but we had to decorate it with gloves on, lol. I'll never forget that....it's still a good memory.

Decorating Christmas cookies with Mom and siblings every year.

We always saved one cookie and mixed all the icing colors together and made the ugliest cookie with tons of icing on it for my Dad. Mom passed away 4 years ago so we were still doing it when I was 39 He loved it, going to do it this year if I have time

I will never forget when I swore I saw Santa and his reindeer in the sky (OK I saw something glowing and moving) and my brother decided it was time to tell me the "truth" about Santa. I was broken hearted but he got in a LOT of trouble. It was still and awesome Christmas!

 

[miller552]

I enjoy all of the wonderful candies each year...fudge, chocolate covered pretsels, nuts, fruit...but not fruit cake!
