As we're approaching the Christmas holiday, many great memories of
"Christmas past" seem to continually flood in. It's probably the same
for you! I thought I'd take a moment to share a humorous favorite
Christmas memory of mine...
One year, we (my Dad, my Sister, and I) bought my mom a pair of gloves
that she had asked for. Mom had a great sense of humor, but was always
more reserved and quiet, and never really "ha ha" funny herself.
However, after she'd opened her gloves and we'd turned our attention to
other gifts, we heard her excitedly and jokingly say, "Look I'm a
reindeer!" When we turned to look, she had taken the hand-shaped,
cardboard inserts out of her gloves and was holding them up on both
sides of her head like antlers! We all just laughed and laughed, and we
made a point to buy her gloves a time or two after that, to see if we
could get a repeat!
"Look, I'm a reindeer!" If Mom were still around, by the way, I would
be in BIG, BIG trouble for sharing this story... I don't mind sharing
this, though, because to me, it's another testament to the wonderful
person she was.
