 Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2022 3:28 am Post subject: Fave Holiday Memory/Tradition |
 |

Well Holly started a topic of fave holiday song---I was curious to your favorite memories/tradition of the holidays.
I remember as a child when I lived in Toledo, my Grandpa would take a night and drive me around looking at Christmas lights--it was especially pretty downtown. My Grandpa would also take me to Children's Wonderland every year too---I always loved that. I also remember the holidays being where you saw all the family again.
As an adult my favorite moments now are watching Ashley open her presents and taking her to see the lights--it's so nice to be able to start traditions with her now!!

I love Childrens Wonderland,even though I haven't been there in a few years,they took out some of the older stuff and put in a train that the kids could ride on !!  When I was younger I always had to go see the little raccoon family in their house and how the one raccoon kept popping out of the shower (hopefully,you remember this too otherwise I sound crazy  ) We also drive around every Christmas Eve after dinner and look at all the lights

Hmm, decorating the tree while drinking egg nog and walking around the neighborhood looking at peoples decorations.
I like Christmas Tree Lane in Clovis, CA. All these big houses are elaborately decorated and they have Christmas music playing.

hmmm I love everything we do at Thanksgiving!
I personally hate Turkey/Cranberries/yams/green beans ect. I do eat the potatos/rolls though.. lol
Anyways-- Everymorning My dad and my brother and sisters and I all get up early and go to the park and have a little hike through the woods... My mom stays home and cooks/clean/has time to herself... We leave a couple hours later and go up to Duncan Donuts. We go to my grandmas and say Hi to her. We eventually go home. The house always smells wonderful and everything looks great... We watch to parades on TV and just "chill"
At like 3:00 everyone comes over and (wth a huge table) we all eat. My family is so big, its hillarious. My grandma always makes the best deserts. We hang out and all settle down eventually. I have a great time. I'm getting so excited thinking about it...

I know exactly what you are talking about---I remember those raccoons!!! I haven't been there for a long time too---went once as an early adult back in like 92 or something! I remember the puppet that 'talked' to you and making the 'wax' statues! I use to love that place so much!
One winter I want to go back there and take Ashley to see it.

Well....
Me and my family usually go out to eat that night at this mexican restaurant, do some last minute shopping, then later that night go out looking at Christmas lights while listening to Christmas music. I love it.

Yea I love the Christmas lights!! That's one of the best things about Christmas I think is seeing all the lights! Our zoo does a light thing and we have a community that goes all out----that's about it though---but I make sure to hit both of those places since Tucson isn't much on the Christmas thing compared to other cities.

Hey Missy, back in like the 90s...didn't Southwyke Mall have something like the puppet---but it was a Christmas gift box that talked to you or something?? I remember being somewhere and walking by this Christmas gift and it just started yelling at you and talking to you---it was with a little Christmas scene. I just can't remember if that was in Ohio or TN.

A place in Westland called Hines Park has a "Festival fo Lights" every year. Its really cool. You drive through the park and they have these huge Christmas light displays. Its really cool. When I was little, we'd go on my sister and mines birthday. But recently it seems like we've only gone if we have time...
