Each person cherishes Christmas memories in their own unique way. We remember traditions, family visits, and memorable gifts. We share hot chocolate, open gifts in our pajamas, and watch our children scatter bright paper with joyful abandon. We check our stocking for a suprise gift, and eat too much pie after dinner. We take naps, watch parades on television, and put toys together that really require a visit from an engineer. We might sing a special song, read a traditional story or scripture and spend time on the phone with loved ones far away. And we reminisce... consider all the Christmases past and remember when we were the child.
