Past Holidays
Hello once again on this lovely day after Christmas!
I have another prompt for you…
Earlier I asked you to write about your experiences from this Christmas, good or bad as they may be.
Now I would like you – after you have written about this Christmas so the memories don’t get changed – to write about your Christmases (or other holiday experiences if you don’t celebrate Christmas) of the past.
What were your Christmas experiences like as a child? Did you ever have any Christmases where ‘Santa couldn’t come to our house’ because money was tight? Was money fine but your parents were…not very creative and gave you school clothes every year? What were your favourite holiday traditions?
Whether they are good or bad, take a moment to delve into your past and remember your Christmases.
I loved Christmas when I was a child. My parents would take each of us kids our one at a time so we could buy presents for each other, which we got to open on Christmas eve. Then there was decorating the Christmas tree, which my mother and I usually did together.
My absolute favourite memory would have to be cookie night. One night in late November/early December, me, my mother, my aunt, and sometimes my grandmother and other aunt would get together and bake like crazy. One year it was just me and my mother, so my dad jumped in and helped too.
Anyway, we would bake and create dozens of different kinds of cookies for cookie boxes that would go to everyone we knew.
Good times.
How about yours?
