| It was a cold December night, so cold the snow squeaked under our boots. We rode on a wagon pulled by huge draft horses up to Pecos Monument. The people were standing around a bonfire waiting for the local priest to start Las Pasadas. While we were waiting, a village elder started singing the rosary... MORE |

| My most memorable Christmas started when my family moved from the city to the country and Santa Claus started making his annual Christmas eve visit. Last year we celebrated my parents 72 wedding anniversary and Santa's 50th anniversary.......yes, 50 years with the same Santa at the same home!! The f... MORE |

| The Christmas memory I want to share this Holiday season has to do with Grandpa dressing up as Santa. He would always make a point of having to go home after supper and feed the dog when he was really changing into the Santa suit and coning back to see the kids. Well one year we had dinner at Grandp... MORE |

| |
| As a child growing up in the rural areas of Mt. Pleasant, MI, we had grown around 15,000 Christmas trees on our back ten acres and we would cut the biggest one we could get in our house and decorate it, always with a very old big star for the top of the tree.
My dad would take the old home movies ... MORE |

| Reno's not a small town you say? We're proudly the Biggest Little City in the World! My daughter and I moved here in 2004 from flat, flat Texas. We have seasons and snow here, turning of the leaves, everything I love and missed from my childhood on the East Coast. The cold, the snow, the skating rin... MORE |

| Every quilt has a story. As a way of earning extra "fun" money my friend started picking up black walnuts from people's yards. When she found fabric that had what looked like Black Walnuts printed on it, she had to make a quilt honoring Black Walnuts since the nuts have paid for multiple season Ceda... MORE |

| My favorite things these days about the holidays is that this is the only time I can get off work to attend my quilt club that I joined in 1996 after moving here from Atlanta. Our club had only about a dozen women when I joined and has grown to over 50 - unfortunately, after having to return back to... MORE |

| Our dorky, small town holiday parade is the BEST ever. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people make this an annual ritual - regardless of the weather. The fire department decorates an old-fashioned pumper truck, the llamas, horses and even the goats are decorated and paraded down the street. I have a ... MORE |

tiny lights and our annual Christmas parade is always packed with entries and enjoyed by locals as well as out of towners.

| Coming from a single parent household in the 50s and 60s, and having 5 other siblings, money wasn't something we had much of. If it weren't for the generosity of the local churches and fire station, there would have been many Christmases we would have done without. My favorite memories are recalling... MORE |

| The greatest Holiday memory for me was the year that all of my mother's sisters ( 6 of them) and their families as well as my Grandparents got together and Santa came after we had a wonderful sit down dinner together. We had so much fun. Great laughs. We really enjoyed Grandma sitting on Santa's lap... MORE |

| If you think Sisters "dresses up" for Quilt Show, you should see it Christmas time -- all the little white lights, shops "dressed up" for Christmas, and, an added bonus like this year, a really white Christmas. |
