I believe the most memorable Christmas is around 1957 or possibly 1958. I received this really neat toy piano from Santa Clause along with the dolls and doll clothes. I had this little cousin that wasn't really interested in the rocking horse that Santa pulled out of the his sack of toys. As my memo... MORE

We have antique sleigh bells that have been in the family a long time. When my children were small, I would run around the outside of the house, very close to the walls. and ring the bells after the kids went to bed. One year, I forgot that I had planted a new bush at the front corner of the house a... MORE

I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains. Christmas was an amazing, almost magical time. As kids we thought we were rich! We had no idea just how hard our parents struggled, as did just about everyone in the Appalachians. The week before Christmas, every year, we would sit down as a family and decided who, we could bless for Christmas. Then on Christmas Eve, we would take them a "feast" that Momma had prepared, and presents, one for each person (often the toys were refurbished/repainted toys). None the less, they were always thrilled! One particular Christmas stands out in my mind..it was Christmas Eve 1984. The weather had turned really bad, snow and ice. Daddy and my two older brothers left a little earlier than usual to deliver our Christmas Blessing....the receiving family was in tears they were so happy but something else caught my father's attention.....two small children in shorts and t-shirts huddled together on the porch of a small trailer across the road. Daddy trudged over only to discover the freezing children had been locked out because their parents were having a party inside!! Daddy picked up the little boy and girl and brought them home! He contacted the Sheriff and told him that if anyone reported those babies missing, they were with us!! Twenty-five years later they are still with us!!! My parents adopted Christy and Larry......this is my best Christmas memory...the year I got a new brother and sister!!!!!!!
