I've been thinking of my own Christmas past today.
December 14, 2011 my husband sent me on a four day trip to visit our daughter, son-in-law and new grand daughter. It is hard to live ten hours apart and this was especially thoughtful of him because I know he would have loved to have been able to go with me. He is unselfish!
December 24, 1978 my husbands mom and dad surprised me with a sewing machine. We were only dating then and yet they cared for me so much and wanted me to have my very own sewing machine. I had never received such an expensive gift before. I shared my experience about sewing in an earlier blog.
December 24, 1972 my mom took my brother and I to a shopping mall to find last minute gifts that would be on sale, something she could buy for us with her tip money from her waitress job.
December 25, 1970 my mom cried because she could not give my brother and I any gifts we wanted for Christmas.
December 25, 1967 my parents presented me with the most expensive gift they could afford - a Mary Poppins doll.
Oh, there are other wonderful memories of Christmas past but these hold special memories! The ones that make me thankful for family who love me and would do anything to make me happy. For this - I am most blessed!
