I'm the first to admit that my memory isn't great, which is why I have a hard time recalling stuff like this from my childhood (even though there were many happy memories that I just need to be REMINDED about, and then I'm fine). :)Zandriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462471639557310773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-23030841073902088542007-12-17T22:29:00.000-08:002007-12-17T22:29:00.000-08:00Iliana - Thanks!

There always had to be enough for all of them too! Must have driven my mother crazy. I wouldn't let her peel them--they had to have the green leaves still attached. Not sure why. <BR/><BR/>Jen - Thanks! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who reads to her animals! <BR/><BR/>Tinylittlelibrarian - Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you too!<BR/><BR/>Katluvr - Thank you--and thanks for visiting. I love your nickname. :-)<BR/><BR/>Melissa - Thanks so much, and thank you too for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Megan - Thank you for your kind words! After putting the post together, my Christmas spirit definitely returned. It also makes me a little sad though too, knowing that we can't be with family for the holidays this year. <BR/>I still plan on having a great Christmas though!<BR/><BR/>Jaimie - Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - Thanks. Have a Merry Christmas also!<BR/><BR/>Kailana - Thank you and same to you!<BR/><BR/>Michelle - Thanks so much. And thank you for stopping by!<BR/><BR/>Julia - Thanks! Christmas does seem to be the time for cookies, doesn't it? <BR/><BR/>Stephanie - Thank you! I hope your first day went well!<BR/><BR/>Florinda - It is one of my favorite holidays. :-) I don't go all out the way my family did as a child by any stretch, but the holiday has always had so many happy memories that it's hard not to get excited about this time of year regardless. <BR/><BR/>Bookgal - Another family with a birthday cake tradition! I'm sure your daughter will always look back on those Christmas Eves with her father quite fondly. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-42418195003933005632007-12-17T22:15:00.000-08:002007-12-17T22:15:00.000-08:00Nikki - It was fun to relive some of these memorie...Nikki - It was fun to relive some of these memories in the telling. :-)<BR/><BR/>Trisha - That is so kind of you to say! Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Karen - Thank you! Writing this post sure put me in the Christmas spirit. <BR/><BR/>Chris - I think it holds a special magic for children. Reminds me of the Polar Express. :-) I am sure your daughter will have many happy memories. Maybe she'll be writing a post like this one day! <BR/><BR/>Melody - Thanks! I enjoyed sharing a piece of my past with you. :-)<BR/><BR/>Wendy - You're welcome. :-) <BR/><BR/>Suey - Thank you so much! My grandfather was a very special person in my life, that's for sure. He'll always be one of my favorite people. Unfortunately, my grandmother's health started deteriorating rapidly after my grandfather's death. She suffered from dementia in her final years, and so that was in part what led to the downfall of some of our family traditions. They were both very important people in my life, and I do miss them, but feel so lucky to have the memories of them that I do.<BR/><BR/>Tanabata - You are welcome. :-) And thank you for pointing my error out. I think you hit the nail on the head--too many murder mysteries lately. Haha <BR/><BR/>Jody - That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you. It sounds like your grandmother is a special person.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-4530376545150131512007-12-17T21:28:00.000-08:002007-12-17T21:28:00.000-08:00What wonderful memories.
