Now you made me think about favorite holiday memories - my folks would go downstairs and put on music and light the tree, too! Better, Santa would put an elf ornament at the base of our stairs, so we could look over and see that he'd been there - remembering that Santa brought EVERYTHING to our house Christmas Eve, we got a little anxious.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read your memories! Love the "school bus" truth moment.

My sister's name is Therese (NOT Theresa as Therese Z probably gets called a lot too). It a beautiful name.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow my fave holiday memory is the year my dad totally surprised me by going above and beyond our usual price for gifts (we didn't have a ton of $$$) and got me a STEREO. Its not the actual stereo that fills my heart with warm memories, its the fact that my Daddy picked it out special for me cause he knew how much I loved music even back then. It turned out to be the last Christmas we had with him healthy...he had a few more years with us but was battling cancer.
I loved that stereo so much because it said "I love you" from my Dad!
