Can You Remember Your BEST Christmas EVER? Tell Us About It.

Even though James Comey can't remember ANYTHING, I'm sure that every one of you dear readers can recall your best Christmas ever.

What was it that made your wee little hearts beat with joy on that Christmas day? A new bike? That special doll? Singing Christmas carols to your neighbors? Eating the Christmas goose and figgy pudding? (I think I've been watching "A Christmas Carol" too much)

I think my favorite Christmas was the time burglars tried to break in when I was "home alone," and I was wanting a Red Ryder BB gun, and an angel, Clarence, visited me, because he wanted to get his wings, and I told him Buffalo Wild Wings was really good, and the real Santa slid off our roof and went to the BIG North Pole in the sky, and Tim Allen took his place.

I believe all of the afore mentioned "facts" are true, but I'm not totally sure if  I had any connection to them, because reality is not necessarily in my grasp since my high school football concussions.

However, I have a firm recollection of my dad always claiming that he stole the Christmas tree from the Christmas tree lot. Every year he pretended that he took a tree, unlawfully, and threw it in the trunk of his Ford (he always had a Ford) when the Christmas tree lot attendant wasn't looking. 

Ha ha ha! What a laugh! He was such a joker! Although, I never saw a receipt, and he would never go to the same lot again. Hmmm.

Putting all levity aside, I believe my BEST Christmas was circa 1956. 

The snow had fallen gently upon the trees, making everything look like a winter wonderland, whilst Mamma in my kerchief and I in my cap, had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap...Oh, snizzles, there I go mixing my unrealities again!

I was only 6 in circa 1956, so I just mostly remember the smell of the tree, candy, and uh, that's about it.

But I KNOW it was the BEST, for some reason that I can't remember...much like James Comey.

So, after baring my soul to all of you, take a leap of faith and share the heartwarming/amazing story of YOUR BEST Christmas ever.

No pressure. There will only be 46,000 plus folks reading it. A piece a cake!
