My sisters have been talking about our Christmas from our childhood alot. Our memories. Mom and Dad have both passed now and it really isn't the same. My Mom loved Christmas. If there is a decoration that she didn't have-either she would buy it or one of us would get it for her. Mom crocheted. She had a whole Christmas tree that was decorated with ornaments that she made. I have several myself including and angel about 8'' tall. When we were little we didn't have a lot of material things. Forget color tv's, radios or hand held games. My first pair of Levi's I bought myself! But our childhood was so much better than today's kids. We played in the snow in a metal dishpan. Man you can slide down a hill in one of those things. Mom always made snowcreme when we got one of our random snowfalls. This was homemade not the mix you can buy now. We had to bring in fire wood every day. I could see my daughter doing that!
I can remember calling my Grandmother Waters on Christmas Eve to see if Santa had made it by her house yet. She would say hang on and come back saying "I stuck my head outside. Didn't see anything but I think I smelt reindeer shit." She was great. I try to teach my kid some of these things but I still have a spoiled rotten brat. But she is my brat! Remember making cookies? We still actually do that. Brittany seen on the news where some states were getting all that snow. She said that she can't wait to break out the dishpan!! I'll have the insurance card handy just in case.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAVE A GOD BLESSED WEEKEND
You remember sliding down the hill on the highway when we had 7/8 inches of ice in that same dishpan?? You could slide 1/8 mile from the top of the hill all the way to the end of the road in front of the store and never stop... unless you went into a ditch. Damn dishpans should come with steering wheels, lol.
I've got 2 snow saucers that I bought several years ago off a sales rack and never got to use yet. Not as good as a dish pan but you go with what you got. I know my ass won't fit in a dishpan now, hope it'll squeeze in that saucer
