12.16.11 = Flashback Friday – Best Christmas Gift Ever!!
I think we all, while growing up, had that one Christmas, where there was something special that you wanted more than life itself. Your heart would beat fast just thinking and talking about it. You could describe it in the most detail to anyone who would ask and to many, of whom, did not. My sister Kim, still remembers this Christmas when you got her shiny new Ford Mustang. The joy and excitement was overwhelming and she probably would have slept in it if my mother would have allowed her. I wasn’t allowed to touch it. But mom would let me ride in it when she was in school. Bet you never knew that!
What was that one special Christmas gift for you? Did you get it or not?
“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas time.” Laura Ingalls Wilder

on December 21, 2011What a fantastic flashback photo! The year I got my Chatty Baby doll was the best! My sister got Chatty Cathy that same year. It was definitely a good year for us!
