What is your most memorable Christmas memory?

Articles, Top 10s

   Most of my more recent Christmases haven’t been that exciting, but one from my childhood stands out.

   My aunts like to have us (me and my cousins) “entertain” them by singing and dancing and stuff (they can’t do it so much anymore now that we’re old enough to say “No” and do our own things XD) and when we were younger, they’d tell us stuff like, “You have to sing really loudly so that Santa will hear you! If you don’t sing loud enough, he’ll miss our house and he won’t bring you lots of presents!” And being naive, innocent little children, we believed them.

   Anyway, they had us singing Christmas carols for who-knows-how-long. Well…to tell you the truth, it was more like screaming Christmas carols since our aunts were telling us to sing louder o_O; In any case, eventually, Santa strolled right into the house! Oh, we were so excited!! He sat down in a chair and gave out the presents. Meanwhile, my cousins and I began to suspect something.

   Cousin 1: Hey, where’s Dad?
   Aunt: He went out to get food.
   Cousin 2: Hey, Santa is really Dad!!
   Aunt: What? What are you talking about? This is the real Santa!
   Cousin 1: No, it’s really Dad! *pulls back Santa’s sleeve* Look! The armhair is the same as Dad’s!!

   No joke. That last line is the most vivid part of this memory XD

   We never could “convince” my aunts that this Santa was a fake. But strangely enough, after Santa left, my uncle came back…Coincidence? You decide!

   When the clock struck twelve, my uncle burst into the dining room wearing this huge Santa clause outfit! We just stared at him for a few seconds when he suddenly blurted out: “Er….Happy new year?” his fiance than appeared behind him and whispered that he got the greeting wrong and we all started laughing.

   It didn’t seem so bad anymore after that.

   Every Christmas my family and I, along with our relatives from my mom’s side of the family, get together for Christmas. This one time, out of the greatest coincidences, that majority of us cousins (all 14 of us) were wearing the color scheme of Black and Red. XD

   This one year everyone was at my house for christmas. the parents were gambling and i decided to join. i think i was 6, but anyways, i joined. It was fun becuz i was small i always got the good hand some reason. all the money they had put onto the cloth, i took them all and hid them under the cloth. my uncle and me strted fighting becuz i got all reds and diamonds. my uncle was like. “but i have a full house.” i started crying so they gave me the win. i continued to put money under the cloth but then the game was over. they all showed all their treasures. i didnt know how much i had, but then wen we lifted up the cloth, a huge pile of loose change was revealed. i was very happy i won that much :]

   well i live in ottawa, ontario, so in 1998 we had a really bad ice storm, our house had a tree fall on it, so my parents and i, we had a trailer with propane in the backtyard, so we moved into that, and we moved the tree inside the trailer, and we had christmas with lights and electricity and heat, so it went from an awful christmas to a good one, the only thing that sucked was that power was out for like 1 month or so!

   Another year, when i was 4, I got Chicken Pox. I couldn’t go to my grandma’s house in Arkansas for Christmas. So, i stayed home and ended up opening tons of presents..get-well presents AND Christmas presents!
