Christmas
always makes me think of being a kid and the excitement of the big morning. We
always went to church on Christmas Eve for the candle lighting service, which
is the most beautiful thing. Sometimes we’d open presents on Christmas Eve
because we usually drove to see my aunt, uncle and cousins for Christmas.
When
I was a kid I wanted an Easy Bake Oven. Another year Cabbage Patch Dolls were
the rage. I got one in the summer, which was a preemie, and then I
ended up getting two at Christmas. My parents had ordered them months before
because the stores would sell out almost immediately.
I recently found these in storage |
Christmas morning, age 5 |
But
I think my favorite present ever was a huge, stuffed bunny that I got when I
was about five. I think it was over 5-ft. tall. I loved that thing! It was
yellow and soft and I could sit on its lap.
These
days it’s harder to figure out what I want. What I really want is to be a
world-famous author and make my total living off my writing, lol. I’m not sure
anyone can give me that present, not even Santa Claus.
What
are your favorite Christmas memories from growing up? Was there a special
present you really wanted as a kid? What do you want these days?
