I have some really great memories around Thanksgiving and Christmas. I come from a very large family 10 be exact. Most of my siblings were out of the home by time I can remember. We always managed to have a ice Christmas and I am not sure how,we were not poor (my brother thought we were) We always had plenty of toys clothes etc. One year my younger sister and I were playing and discovered our gifts. Being naive Mom said they were for someone else and we sort of (at least I did) believe it and went back to playing. As I got older and began to receive clothes etc. it just was not as much fun. On Christmas morning we would always be up early and in awe of the gifts and so excited. We always had to wait on Dad to have his morning coffee who I think took great pleasure in torturing us by drinking ever so slowly. My favorite Christmas cookie was and still is to this day Date Nut Pinwheels. One year I found some very hard pinwheels at Easter still good but had to dunk in coffee to eat which I did.
Just thought I would share a little bit of nostaglia with you
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas
David
