Best Christmas?

I feel your pain Troy. Christmas has been stressfull the last few years with the kids and fiance. I really can not pick just one Christmas as my favorite. Christmas 85 stands out to me as it was the last Christmas with my dad, Christmas 04 was great, my gf and I went to NC (we lived in FL at the time) to visit my family (her son was 7 at the time but livin with his dad who would not allow her to see him), in the car for 10 hours all we did was talk and laugh, got to NC my family fell in love with her as did I, went back to FL a few days after Christmas, found out her son got nothing for christmas so we drove to see him and I surprised her and her son with money for a lil shoppin spree and Christmas 06 was my son's first Christmas it was a great time. I think this Christmas will be a good one.

My best Christmas?? Well it sure as heck wasn’t any of the last eight, watching my husband slowly dying & knowing there was nothing I could do about it. I wish I could have happier memories, but there are none from those years!

So I guess I have to look further back . . . it would have to have been when our son was much younger. My parents would stay home to spend Christmas Day with my brother & his family. Then they’d fly to Arizona around the 27th. Since Bryce was just a little tyke, he didn’t know “dates”, and so Santa didn’t come to our house until after Granny & Grandpa were there. “Christmas” was such a happy time then.
