It's too hard for me to choose one Christmas that stands out. Christmas is a time to make fond memories with your loved ones. It brings memories of passing down traditions to our children. The tradition of teaching them the family recipes passed down from generations and then sitting down to eat a feast that is enough to feed an army. The tradition of watching children open their presents and the excitement of getting something that they really wanted. The tradition of visiting with everyone after we have eaten so much that you can hardly move and the tradition of sharing memories of christmas past and present including the loved ones that are no longer with us. Family is Christmas!
I hope that this doesn't sound too mushy but that is how I remeber Christmas!

I've never big on spending a lot of time with family. The main reason being most of them still live in California. This is the one time of year when if wish my family was closer and bigger. I envy the families that visit with relatives on Christmas and get to share the excitement of the gifts they have received and to share family stories. My wife comes from a big family and they too also live in California. I think she misses the big family atmosphere at Christmas time.
It's interesting how people like to spend the holiday...I've always liked the big family get togethers, but sometimes it gets to be a little hectic. My family lives in the Portland area, so it's not problem seeing them. John's family is up in the Puget Sound area, which makes getting together a more concentrated effort. Debbie
