CHRISTMAS CHILDHOOD MEMORIES FOR ME

Christmas mornings were full of anticipation, excitement and thrills for our family  as we woke up to see what Santa had put in our stockings and to see what he had put under the tree.

Such times brought with it many pleasant memories; and excitement that, I still cherish in my  mind and heart today.

Some of the things I really enjoyed doing were;

Writing letters to Santa Clause with my wish list.

Decorating the Christmas tree and smelling the refreshing pine smell that came from it.

Listening to Christmas carols on the radio.

Hanging up our  stockings on Christmas Eve.

Watching the Snow silently blanket the house top on Christmas Eve.

Setting around the fireplace. While mother read to us our favorite Christmas stories.

Opening up presents on Christmas morning.

Sampling some of the tasty  hard candy  Santa  left.

Memories like these are precious, how they ever linger, how they ever flood our souls ,and how they become such a memorable and enjoyable part of our lives.

Darlene and I  hope all of you  have a Merry Christmas, and we hope you will make memories of your own Christmas that are just as precious  to you as ours have been to us.

Aren't  we all so blessed  that Jesus was born,  so that we could celebrate His birth?  And enjoy this magical time of year!          Coleman and Darlene
