My most vivid holiday memory was when my parents car hit a nail and had a flat tire while taking my grandparents to the airport. My parents had to pull over to the side of the road and change the tire. It was significant becuase I always enjoyed seeing my grandparents durring the holidays.
Best childooh holiday memory is deff when i got my Drum set. i wanted one for months before christmass and i was so exited to run downstarirs that i forgot about it and when i was done opening my other gifts i was so exited and i dindt even remember the drum set. then later i whent to my basement because my dad "Needed" a screwdriver and there it was sitting there... dope right?!?
Getting food poisioning on Thanksgiving. It was horrible. It has had a devistating impact on me as I hope to never have to go through food poisioning again. It was bad.
I remember when I was little, my brother and I got into a fight before Christmas. My parents told us that if we didn't apologize, Santa wasn't coming. My brother and I decided not to make-up. Christmas Eve night, we got home from my Grandma's and Grandpa's house only to find a note under the tree from "Santa". It said that my brother and I only had a few more hours to apologize, otherwise he was not coming. Upon reading this letter, Nicky and I quickly told eachother we were "sorry" and hugged eachother.
I will never forget this letter that my parents wrote, and how upset we both were when we found out that Santa might not be coming. I'm able to laugh about this situation now, but back then, it wasn't too funny.
This holiday season, I'm so thankful I have my family and friends. I'm grateful to have a nice place to live as well.
I remember that the day after Thanksgiving my Christmas tree goes up and then the day after New Years the tree comes down. It's weird now though because my Dad and Mom has different traditions, and even with each specific house the traditions vary each year. It bothers me because I have never had an actual tradition because of the alternating holidays between families. I am very thankful that I am a senior and I have a car. In other words I am excited to be able to leave annoying family events in case the knives were left on the table.
My most vivid Holiday memory was last year during Christmas. My Grandpa was living with us because he was really sick and couldnt live on his own. on Christmas we weere all sitting around the tree opening presents and i turned around to give my grandpa his gift and he had a ski mask on over his face just sitting there waiting for us all to realize. it was the funniest thing ever and yet it made me feel good because he was still trying to have so much fun on Christmas even though he was so sick. Another vivid Holiday memory was my birthday last year. My grandpas funeral was on my birthday last year and it was the most depressing birthday ever. we were all so focused on the funeral so we never really celebrated my birthday at all.
I don't have just one specific memory of any holiday that I can recall that is better than the rest. I think I'm very lucky for everything I've recieved. I don't have much not to be thankful for.
My dog running away Christmas morning. I still remember it taking 3 hours to find her in the snow and it really cast a bad mood over my family. Just really not how I wanted to start off the day.
It was Christmas Eve and we went to my cousin's house upstate. It was a typical Christmas Eve, the sun was beaming down on the snow and the house smelled like an evergreen tree. The whole day we lounged around and watched Christmas movies. The dinner was delicious, plentiful like every year. There were tons of presents under the tree. I was about 11 and when it was time for opening presents. The parents got each other "gag gifts" and I'm sure you could hear them cackling all around the neighborhood. The house was very warm and cozy. When it was the children's turn to open gifts, We teared at the wrapping paper like the world was about to end. When we left very early in the morning to go home, I remember looking out my car window as we approached one of the many bridges into the city. The snow was falling and my imagination took over, I remember thinking I saw santa flying in the sky. It was amongest the best feelings I have ever felt.
My entire family lives on Long Island. My parents both grew up in Queens, but they moved around a lot since then. From age 4-12, I lived in Atlanta, Georgia, but every Christmas we would fly up to New York to be with the rest of the family. When I was 12, I found out my family was moving up to New York. That Christmas when we flew up to New York, we had some big news to tell our family! I remember when we broke the news that we were going to be moving to Long Island and living very close to all of them, it was complete chaos. Everyone was crying tears of joy and jumping up and down. My little cousins had no idea what was going on and looked at us like we were crazy. It was rediculous.
One of my most vivid childhood holiday memories would have to be 4th of july about 8 years ago. I remember my dad and the neighbors were lighting off fireworks in the cul de sac and one of the fireworks didnt go off in the right direction and launched into a nearby bush which caught fire. Luckily they were able to put the fire out before the whole bush became engulfed in flames.
It's hard to pick out one childhood memory, but I guess what I most remember about holidays during my childhood is waking up early and getting my brothers up to rush to the Christmas tree to see our presents. Now, my best memory of the holidays is seeing my brothers walk through the front door with all their bags, yelling hello to everyone with a huge smile on their face and somehow picking up my 80-pound dog. This holiday season I am thankful that my family can be together because my brothers and cousins are away at college and I rarely get to see them all at once and spend time together.
When I was little I remember when I would go to my grandparent’s house when my parents were at work and I would watch all the holiday/Christmas cartoons. I would always drink hot chocolate and lay on the couch. It was a really good memory that I held on to because I got to spend a lot of time with my grandparent’s. It was important because I rarely get to see my grandparents anymore.
My best childhood holiday memory would be when I got a super nintendo. The super nintendo was the first video game console I ever owned and I was really happy when I got it.
my most vivid memory on christmas is when my aunt and uncle came over for christmas. That was the only time we had christmas as one big family instead of just my parents and my sister. We exchanged soo many gifts and later we sat by the fire place, watched movies and my mom made a turkey diner. It felt like a "complete" christmas to me.
Whenever my family gets together there is always something to remember. I have quite a few, some are pretty embarassing so I dont know if I want to share it with you guys. haha but I have a few, one year I knocked over the candle at Thanksgiving dinner, almost set the table on fire, but my family quickly blew it out. Another year I got thrown off a snowmobile on a frozen lake in vermont. I FLEW across the lake and my cousin ran over saying please dont cry lisa please dont cry I dont wanna get introuble... and obviously that only made me cry more haha. Another year my cousin burnt the inside of his ear on the candle reaching over the table, and another year we decided to put on Dane Cook at the dinner table and my grandpa got so upset he left the room because he thought it was innapropriate while my grandma was crying in the kitchen about something else, what a mess.
One of my most vivd holiday memory is when i got my air hockey table for Christmas. I remember that my dad left after my brothers and I opened all our presents. Than he came back ten minutes later with my air hockey table.
My most vivid holiday memory would be when I found out there wasn't a Santa Clause. I was six years old and absolutely crushed. Although it seems relatively funny in retrospect, at the time, I was horrified. I had asked my mother why Santa's handwriting looked so similar to her own and since she assumed I was already doubting his existence, she informed me it was because she had written the note and that Santa wasn't real. I vividly remember walking into my first grade classroom feeling as though a beloved family member had just died. Sorry. I could've written a happier story, but I didn't.
My mom passed away 25 years ago two days after Christmas. My brother refused to open any of his Christmas presents until my mother got home from the hospital. After she died, the presents just sat under the tree for months. We had her funeral on New Year's Eve, and I was crushed. I never thought I would lose my mom. This year marks 25 years later, and part of me still feels like that little girl who wishes Santa would bring back her mom for one last hug and one last Christmas! Be thankful for your family this holiday and ever day!
My most vivid holiday memory is of the last Christmas I spent with my family in our old apartment in Florida. Every year for as long as I can remember, we spent Christmas in the gorgeous 80 degree weather overlooking the ocean and sitting poolside after Christmas dinner. In 2006 we decided to sell our apartment and I finally had my first "White Christmas" in New York last year. For our last "tropical" Christmas in our old home, all of my brothers brought their wives, girlfriends, and children and we cooked a very festive dinner together. The memory of this last Christmas we shared in that apartment will forever remain fresh in my mind.
This holiday season, I am thankful for a lot of things. Most importantly, though, I am thankful for my friends and family who've remained true and by my side for another year.
My most vivid holiday memories are of my christmas mornings as a child, waking up early to see what santa brought me every year then opening and the great delight i got with every package i unwrapped with my family. I believe that these memories brought me closer with my family and made me the person i am today.
My most vivid holiday memories are from the days when "Santa" was the one who brought you present....or so I thought. I remember I would stay up really late the night before Christmas Eve just so I could go to sleep early and Santa wouldn't find me awake. It was fun of me and I'm glad it lasted as long as it did, but Mom and Dad had their fun spoiling it when I was 10.
