    When I was probably about 5 I had seen these dolls in town that were as tall as me. I thought they were just the greatest thing, but knew Santa didn’t bring expensive things like that. Much to my amazement, there was a big beautiful doll standing in front of our tree on Christmas morning.

    Every Christmas growing up is a fond memory that I hold dear! We’d all go to my grandparents (30-40 of us) and my grandparents always hired someone to play Santa on Christmas Eve, they’d somehow get him on the roof without anyone seeing so we’d hear footsteps and bells. After he left they’d take us outside and they had a tower near their house that flashed a red light, my grandpa always told us it was Rudolphs nose haha. Everyone holiday was just so special with my grandparents, I miss them. Always tons of family, lots of food, fun, games, laughs.

    When my Dad was in the Navy, our Mom told us he wouldn’t be home for Christmas. We were all so sad. Then you know who was Santa the next morning…our Dad. We were all so thrilled. They could only pull that off one time, and it was the best surprise ever.

    My grandfather lived in Florida when I was younger. We used to drive to his house for our two-week Christmas break from school. While my friends were dealing with snow and cold, we had fun in the sun and spent time with my grandparents. My grandparent’s house was set up with an apartment in the back half, and they also had a small guest house behind. Most of the time one or the other wasn’t occupied when we were visiting, so we had our own place. One year when we were staying in the guest house, my brother and I had so much fun. We got especially close that year and I can remember just playing card games and listening to the radio (in part, to hear the update on Santa’s ETA). That one year was just so much fun, and that was the year that the song “Snoopy’s Christmas” was playing constantly on the radio. My brother, Joe, passed about 14 years later from cancer. To this date not only is it one of my favorite Christmas memories, but one of my favorite memories of Joe.

    One nice memory I have of Christmas is the year I was working at a residential treatment center for young kids ages 3-12. Each holiday they were allowed to go home with their families for about a week. Some of the kids did not have parents so the staff volunteered to take one child for the week, home to their house. I was able to take a little girl who was 6, home to my parents house for Christmas. We went to my grandparents house a couple days later and everyone just loved her. She got so many presents and was very happy 🙂

    I have many favorite Christmas memories, but one that really sticks out is the year my dad surprised me and came by my moms house to see me on Christmas Day. He hasn’t ever really been around, much less during Christmas, so it was special. He even played Wii with me. We haven’t spoken in 5 years or more, his choice…so yeah I guess it was a bittersweet memory!

    My fav memory is the 4 of us girls at the top of the stairs, waiting as my parents got coffee, turned on the tree, got the camera ready, etc. Then we all ran down together and found our set of gifts. (Santa didn’t wrap, but we’d have other wrapped gifts to open later, one at a time, from ea. other and from our parents.) My mom tried very hard to make everything equal, not just the money spent, but so the sets of gifts would look equal too!

    Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. We live in the south. My favorite Christmas memory is waking up with my husband to drink coffee before waking our children. We sat next to the window and noticed that it was snowing! It was breathtaking. My husband and I was excited to wake up our children to experience a white Christmas!

    I loved taking trips in Manhattan with my father on the train to see the Big Tree at Rockefeller Ctr and then going to this one diner to have lunch. He then would take me to the Buick dealership to pretend drive the cars there and then we would go to FAO Schwartz and I was allowed to pick one toy.
