Back in 2004 we moved to Texas. We lost most of our possessions and were pretty much strapped for cash. We made it off of my Dad's severance package for 6 months, but during that time we had a Christmas, and a bunch of siblings who had lost most of their toys in the move. That Christmas was difficult to shop for because of money issues.
It was looking like our bleakest Christmas ever, when My dad actually was able to get us a few more presents, and on Christmas eve, My Grandma came in with two huge boxes of presents for everyone. As a result that Christmas in one day went from looking like our bleakest, to being one of our largest ever. We all gathered around making candies, and cookies.
She had already given us a lot of old lights to use. So, we decorated properly, and we had lots of gifts, and we honestly had one of our best days that Christmas. It was so nice to see my brothers get toys again.
That was just one of my favorite Christmas memories, but I have more, stay tuned.
Tomorrow Kindy will share her thought of the day, and song. So stay tuned.
Great story Adam. Reminds me of a Christmas I had a couple of years back...My dad got fired from his job a week before Christmas and then we had "Santa's Elves" leave us a package chock full of presents. I will never forget it.
