Teenage years the best

My most memorable Christmas memories include the time when I was in my teens, we would decorate a live Christmas tree, and grandparents would put Christmas gifts under the tree that I so anxiously awaited for Christmas morning to come so I could open my gifts and see what Santa Claus got me for Christmas present.

And relatives and friends would come over and we would have a nice dinner for everyone that was there. There would be some kind of games for everyone to play and was snow up in the mountains, so it was a white Christmas we would never forget. And everyone would listen to Christmas carols and some would sing along with the Christmas carols. Was good way to spend Christmas and celebrate the old year about to disappear and a week later, it was celebration of a New Year to follow.

So was enjoyable way to say good bye to memorable times we celebrate the birth of Jesus. And a hell-o for all good times’ sakes.

And see Santa Claus and his Reindeers riding the sleigh down the snow with lot of goodies in it for good boys and girls. And got to sit on Santa’s lap and have my picture taken with Santa Claus.
