memento mori
My most favorite Christmas memory was me opening a present, and the contents were boxers. (I was actually pretty excited about this because I needed new underwear) but I held it up to see what the colors were, and a copy of EarthBound for SNES fell onto my lap. I was so happy!
My least favorite Christmas memory was me fracturing my skull because someone had jumped up onto the rocking chair I was in and I tumbled out of the chair and my head went right into the corner of a brick. I ended up with 5 staples in my head...

Every Christmas was special when I was little. My father would stand outside and ring a bell shortly after I'd gone to bed, and my mother would come into me and my sister's rooms to say Santa was coming. Very sweet.

I can't remember a single thing tbh. (I really did try to think of something) I'm not sure if that means that my holidays have always just been uneventful, or if they were so god awful, that my brain has suppressed the memories.

My senior year of high school, I was in show choir, and we went around to different church and work parties as well as elementary schools to perform. We did 63 shows in 24 days, and it was the most wonderful Christmas season I've ever had. I love to sing, and sharing that with thousands of people was incredible. I have a few memories that really stick out.
The first elementary school we went to, I was wearing slippers with my pajamas (the uniform for the schools), and so choreography was rather difficult. During the song "Sparklejollytwinglejingly" I totally fell on my bottom in front of the entire elementary school so like a couple hundred kids. It was embarrassing, but they were laughing hysterically and it was worth it.
We went to the women's shelter, and most of the people there were solely Spanish speakers. I don't know much Spanish myself, but there was a little girl who was maybe 2 who was absolutely adorable, and I played a lot with her before we performed. Our last song was Somewhere In My Memory, and we would sit in the audience, and this little girl sat on my lap as I sang and I bawled. Christmas is about serving others, and that meant more to me than all the singing in the world.

So, I don't even know an explanation for this yet, but when I was little, little enough to believe in Santa, I had asked for what every 90's kid wanted, a Razor scooter, of course I was a tiny tot, so my sister got a kickass red Razor scooter cause she was older, and I got this knock-off Barbie scooter, which kind of ticked me off, cause it was pink and I've never been a fan. BUT it was a SEALED package, from the store, or rather, FROM SANTA'S WORKSHOP, and when I opened it and pulled it out, on the baby pink "grip" deck thing there was a PERFECT TINY POINTED foot print, like a freaking elf tested it out. My mom couldn't explain it but for reals it was the most exciting thing ever because it was like, holy **** an elf tested out my scooter before Santa brought it here, and I was so stoked, like I was mad because I didn't get a Razor like my sister, but at least mine was tested by an ELF! I think that same year I got like a Britney Spears CD and stuff so it was a good year.
Another good memory from X-Mas was when I got a Karaoke machine, this was also in the 90's and it was like, this GIANT THICK monster of a karaoke machine with maybe a 5 inch screen, and I would sit in my room singing all the grand ol 90's songs on that bad boy, it was a great time, got new karaoke CD's for my birthday and the next Christmas, it was like the best thing I ever got, well, besides a laptop. But yeah, as a kid, it was the best present.

Christmas 1999 when I got my first computer and some Broadway memorabilia. I spent Christmas Day scanning in playbill pages like a freaking nerd and hoping the Y2K bug wouldn't zap my new clunky, beige machine.
I doubt anyone here is old enough to know what I'm talking about lol

I feel like in the 90's we had all this technology but it was like 8x thicker than the modern versions. Good times man... good times.

Sometimes our extended family would come up and one year we'd just play four-way yugioh duels until midnight for like 3 days straight

My sister and I before my parents would get up on Christmas day watched Too Cute for a few hours. Me and her had two specific favorite puppies from one episode we watched: Klondike and Avalanche.

The Christmases in 2008 and 2009 were amazing. That was the time that I got into Nintendo with the Wii and DSi, and I'd love to relive those days.
Christmas 2011 was pretty good too, as that's when I got my 3DS.

I think I got a nintendo ds lite AND my first cell phone on Christmas 2006 from my dad and I was soooo hyped. The cell phone was in a stocking and I wasn't expecting a phone at all and thought he had jokingly put a lump of coal in there! It was a flip phone! I got nintendogs with my ds lite and played that game for sooo long. I still have that same ds and game tucked away! I really miss being a kid and feeling the magic of Christmas.

Christmas at my maternal grand-parents when I was little were fun. My grandpa was always making noise in the chimney while we were pretending to be asleep, and the younger of us thought is was the real Santa Claus, not me because I had surprised Santa Claus in the bathroom earlier that night. Then the adults were all in front of the window commenting on the on reindeer and Santa sleigh that we couldn't see because too small and then Santa appeared at the door. After unwrapping our presents (at midnight), we ate tons of desserts (because little kids just care for that) and went outside for ice skating or sliding until 4 in the morning, then we danced until 8am and went to bed for a few hours. No need to say that everybody was grumpy at the Christmas day dinner.

When I was little and still believed in Santa, I would get soo excited to see the cookies I left out for him gone the next day, with a few cookie crumbs leftover. I remember making my brother and sister PROMISE that they didn't eat the cookies and that santa did, and they swore that santa came by during the night and ate them. I miss the innocence when everything seemed magical :/
Also, every Christmas Eve my parent's would let me open my stocking, which had all the fun goodies in it. We always used to watch Charlie Brown Christmas together every year. It was nice

Every Christmas is special to me.
When I got Kirby's Epic Yarn, for starters.
And Mario Kart 7.
I used to love those games to death. I think they're low-quality and trite now, of course.

My sister and I were really little. She opened a box that had a pretty barbie in it. Then it was my turn. I knew mine was a barbie too because of the size of the box. I started opening it and noticed that my barbie had bushy eyebrows. Boy was I disappointed to see that mine was a boy. My mom said we could take turns and that my sister could let me play with her girl sometimes. I knew that would never happen. Lol. I was so happy when my mom handed each of us another Barbie shaped box. Mine has a girl and my sister got a boy. We played Barbies all day. I had so much fun playing with my older eister when we were little.

Christmas memories for me seem to be more magical when I look back on me when I was younger. For example, I always used to love Christmas Eve, as my grandma and grandad (who lived an hour away) would come to sleepover, and we would stay up late watching Christmas TV programmes, eating sausage rolls and chocolates (not together tho lmao), then my brother would sleep over in my room that night as I had a bunk bed, and I swear I always used to get so excited because I thought I could hear sleigh bells on the roof. Then in the morning I would wait eagerly for everyone to wake up and we'd go downstairs and open our presents, it was such a great feeling. I remember one year I got rollerskates and I was going up and down the road even though it was freezing cold and snowing.
Now that I'm older and unfortunately experienced family problems as well as my own personal issues, it's not always so exciting or such an enjoyable time of year. But I think this year will be really great. I'm hoping I can spend some time with friends around Christmas and New Year just going out together, and also it'll be the first time I've seen my family in months so I think I'll appreciate it a lot more. ^^
