Christmas Memories

Even though things have changed drastically since I was little I still love being home for Christmas. We always have the candles lit in the windows and we'd have to run around the house turning on the candles as it got dark out (now there are timers that go off so we don't worry as much for the lights!), we'd have our tree decorate with all the ornaments that we had made (sadly...some of them have bit the dust....stupid mice!) and we always had our Christmas stockings that magically got filled the night of Christmas Eve. Plus we would listen to the Christmas story, pray (where mom and then both girls would usually cry....because mom was crying) and do a Christmas program. Really good memories!
