We usually put up our tree just after Thanksgiving. Decorating the tree was a family affair. Most of the ornaments were just plopped on the tree, but I  had a special ornament as well, it was a little blue eyed, blond haired angel. I loved that ornament from the moment I set my eyes upon it. My mother gave me the ornament a few years back and now it resides on my tree every year.

Sitting in school waiting for the last day till Christmas break. That last day was torturous to me. Knowing that in just a few short hours the official countdown to Christmas would begin.

Then there were the Christmas specials on TV. I watched them all and was especially fond of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas“. I watched them all, those are just 2 of the many that I loved. TV was my best friend growing up, but that is a whole other post.

I would listen to my 45′s of Christmas music incessantly, I imagine my mom still has issues with this one in particular:

I still love this one but I don’t have the 45 anymore, thank God for YouTube.

More to come…
