Christmas memories

Some of us were talking Christmas about our memories of Christmas past. Of course, it usually included a trip to Arkansas often with bad weather. Do you remember the trip where the highway was a solid sheet of ice until Texarkana? I believe that stretch took 6 hours and we stopped several times for the guys to help push cars back onto the road. I was such a proud Mama of our strong and helpful guys.

Another challenge was what to get this crew for a Christmas present. Do remember the time you all got a dishwasher for Christmas? Just wait till you tell your children that that was something you were really excited about!

Another memory I have is all the Christmas plays we did or were in. I remember Nathan as baby Jesus (he did not cry once) and Sarah as Mary (she was a really good one). But mostly I remember our homemade plays (where a bigger guy was the donkey or even Dolly acted well once). I can imagine some pretty irate innkeepers. It is sure wonderful to have such good memories. May there be many more.
