A time of togetherness with entire family. The unwrapping of presents under Christmas tree. My father telling stories about to birth of Jesus. Christmas Eve trips to the store accompanying Mom. My relatives visiting and I'd join them in singing popular Christmas carols; wondrous memories! Pining for a white Christmas; sometimes going to movies or driving around with Dad. Oh, those were fun times! Watching biblical epics, especially "King of Kings." The first time I saw Santa I'll never forget!

Yes. I miss it too. Reruns of white Christmas and other movies, the driving around to see decorations, etc. Especially the treats. Today we are lucky to see even 1/4 of homes decorated. Fear of robbers taking them or just too busy to be bothered. Congrats, Edward.

Thanks for the congrats and visit, Andrea:-) Oh, I remember when a 4 ft tall Santa my Dad bought was stolen off the front porch at night when I was a kid. Woke up in the morning and it was gone! I was so sad, lol. Ah, memories....
