Christmas memories are something to cherish. Reflecting on the gifts, food, friends and family members makes it an unforgettable time.
Mom is always cooking some five-to-seven-course meal: turkey or Cornish hen or ham (or all); chitterlings; potato salad; collard greens (sometimes REALLY spicy); cornbread; stuffing; and that awesome pumpkin pie finale. I’m hungry just writing this!
The family’s playing music, making noise and trying to out-talk each other. Dancing, singing and laughter everywhere. And the gifts: Oh, my! Then going outside to see all the new bikes, red wagons, footballs, basketballs and even pets up and down the block. A rainbow of lights flash, blink and smile.
Oh yeah, and that guy in the red suit, good ol’ what’s-his-name. All these people and events make this holiday memorable.
