Describe a favorite childhood Christmas. What gifts did you give and receive?
My favorite Christmas memory was when I was 8 years old. I had asked for a doll. Not just any doll but a doll called Baby Hungry, you mixed this little mix and fed it to the doll, the doll's mouth moved and she actually ate it. Why was this so special, well let me tell you why. I was a major totally major tomboy.. I never wanted anything to do with being a girl, I hated dresses only wore them because my mom made me. When she did I would find the quickest way to ruin it or get it dirty so I wouldnt have to wear it long. I hated ribbons and barretts never kept them in my hair. So when I asked for a certain doll believe me it was a major milestone. It was such a big deal that I got everything to do with a doll, a crib, a high chair, baby clothes, My mother worked nights so when she got home. She came upstairs to our room and woke me and my 2 brothers up and we snuck downstairs in case Santa was still there. We looked at all the gifts under the tree and then my mother made us go back to bed. She wanted to get some rest before we went to my Grandmother's house for the family celebration. Our small family didnt have much money so the gifts we gave were things we had made in school. We made tree decorations for our tree. Christmas was good back then. Hardly any commericalism pushed on you. Lots of fun with your cousins, I love those memories.We always got new clothes for Christmas Here is a picture from a few years later of me and my brothes.
