My Childhood Christmas Memories

My Papa and I

I loved that yellow little rocker

back in the day when tinsel was the thing to put on your tree.  I remember it sticky to my fingers, hard to get off onto to the tree.

My weeble wobbles!  I loved them

My little brother Jason

My projector :)

My brother & I (Jason)

My Dad 

My two grandmothers (Grandmother & Nana)

I loved that doll house...the elevator was the best

My mom (I really hope my brother isn't picking his nose...)

I played with that sticky playset for hours.....

I'm not sure why I wanted to go down memory lane with you but I enjoyed it.  I guess I can't help but think about how so many things have changed in this world since I was little and then I look at my children.  I had so many good times at Christmas time with my family.  I can only hope that my children can say the same thing too.  It seems like Christmas was easier to do when they were smaller.  I love starring off into the glow of the Christmas lights on the tree.  I wish the wonderful salt dough ornaments that my mother had made years ago were still around (they crumbled up as the years went by)  Looking back Christmas was family even if God was only in the background instead of how he is at the center of my life now with my family.  Christmas is Family.  Christmas is Love
Thank you Jesus for this precious gift.
