| Childhood Christmases |
My mom recently scanned in some
pictures from my childhood and sent them up to me. Although a
few were from Halloween, most of the pictures were of Christmas
Past (or snow!). Have a look at a couple of Christmas mornings
when I was a child.
All of these are MouseOver CloseUp
Specials too!! |

mIkIE, Donny and Jon on Christmas
morning
Each Christmas morning, our mom
stood behind the door, watching and waiting to snap a picture
showing our looks of joy and surprise as we first saw our gifts.
However, she usually snapped the picture too soon (or we were
running towards the loot too quickly!), and all we saw were big
floating spots from being blinded by the camera flash. ROFL |

In 2004, Jim and I
built gingerbread houses of my family's homes and
flew down to spend the Christmas holiday with my family in North
and South Carolina. |

| Christmas Gifts |
Christmas was rather "un-Christmas-y" this year. My family
didn't exchange presents, the crowd for Christmas Eve was very
small at Joyce's, and of course, I didn't have Jim with me.
(that's why there aren't many holiday pictures this year)
However, I did receive a few presents. Carolynn got me a new
electric skillet and thumb drive, my mom (Celia) gave me money
which I used to buy an electric blanket (maybe I won't miss my
heated waterbed so much now), and my GrandMother gave me a
check. Though her check covered my plane fare, the plane ride
was Jim's final gift to me. I plan to use the money from my
GrandMother to purchase another Chantix prescription next month
so I can quit smoking again. |
