The twelve days of Christmas project.

Each day the UNCLE Christmas tree posts in section7mfu
and we'd like all the cousins to come visit and  share a memory of
Christmas' past as a comment, and leave it as a present under the tree.

There's nothing like our treasured memories, they're gifts
that will be with us always!

Give someone a smile with one of your favorite personal
memories, anectotes, or stories, songs...anything from your
Christmas Past, OR even what you're looking forward to this year!

Time to get into the Spirit of Christmas.

I'm going to admit that my memory sort of fades in and out concerning the years gone by... way gone actually. As a kid I waited for the packages to arrive from Brownsville, all wrapped in tissue paper and sent from my Mammaw, Aunt Margaret, and Uncle Neil. Living in California without any relatives close enough for even a day trip meant something like a wrapped package was an important event for feeling connected to the ones back here. After Mammaw passed away the packages did as well, the kids were older and no one felt the need to continue on with that practice. I understand now, but Christmas wasn't the same without the crinkle of tissue wrapped packages flecked with little foil stars.

Christmas can certainly bring a mixed bag of memories, but happy and sad. I miss the Christmas gift giving even though my cousins are here, we no longer exchange...but that's another story.

I know there's no little foil stars but when your box arrives, there'll be tissue to crinkle. And so creating a new memory for you my friend.

So glad you finally made it to the Christmas tree project, and thanks for sharing with us!
