What is your favorite Christmas memory?

[mandyfire98]

Is Christmas a time of year you get excited for?

[SnowedIn]

Totally love Christmas!!! Lights, egg nog, family, decorating, time off, etc.

Favorite memory? In general, it's decorating the tree with my family. Over the last 15 years, we do it the Saturday night after Thanksgiving. We've already done all the other decorations and I cook a roast for dinner. After dinner and with pie and coffee, we decorate the tree. My wife marshals us and directs better than any general at D-Day where ornaments go. But, the coolest part is telling the story -- every ornament has one. Some as recent as the past year, others from my great grandparents.

A specific favorite memory was my grandmother visiting us when I was about 12. She had made her famous jello salad with fruit. One of us boys had put a 2-liter bottle of Coke back in the fridge but hadn't screwed the cap on tight. It leaked into the Jello salad and we had carbonated, Coke-flavored jello salad. Grandma thought it was hilarious, but my mom was horrified and mortified and angry and, for some reason, took it out on my dad. We kids thought it was awesome!

This story is hilarious hahaha

[ChattyGuy43]

Most definitely,

Best Christmas was when my family and my cousins came down to stay over at our house and we ate so much food and had a great time, it was a really great Christmas.

[ChattyGuy43]

Basically any time when my family and other cousins families have great christmases together, only lately in the last 20 years have I celebrated Christmas with my own family, infact the last 1 I can remember was about 15 years ago when my sisters boyfriend asked for my sisters hand in marriage in the morning on Christmas day, now that was to me, THE best Christmas for sure as I'd never seen my sister so happy, and now they have 2 boys together and have been married for 11 years now

It is my brother's first Christmas he was old enough to understand and get the concept of santa.

Christmas eve us making cookies that we put out for santa and his excitement.

He couldn't sleep so he got in bed with me and talked my ear off about santa till he passed out.

Then the next morning

He coming out to a tree full of presents and gasping with excitement about how much he loves Christmas

[mandyfire98]

This is absolutely adorable.

[Msputiton]

It was. I can't wait to go home so we can continue our Christmas traditions

[mandyfire98]

It's always good to go home and just relax and enjoy the holidays. Unwind a bit.

[Msputiton]

Yes.

[CoolCatMar1]

I love Christmas due to the fact that i see all of my family together. We eat great food and go to nice trips. Everything is gorgeous because you can see Christmas trees and lights everywhere!!!

I once went to a Christmas trip to Athens and it was lots lf fun. We went to an amusement park and after that we ate a very nice pasta yummy.

[ChattyGuy43]

Sounds like a really nice Christmas

[CoolCatMar1]

@ChattyGuy43 aww thank you 😇

[ChattyGuy43]

Your welcome, i hope this Christmas is another one that you'll remember

[CoolCatMar1]

@ChattyGuy43 thank you so much!!! I may travel with my boyfriend to Rome this year

[DenizLikesTennis]

I like the feeling and the vibes I receive when I take a walk to the Christmas market in germany. I don't celebrate Christmas due to my ethnicity but hey, I love being a part of the event and it feels as if I am actually celebrating. Every culture is wonderful and interesting

Once when I was in high school, we'd gift each other for Christmas and have breakfast together ☺️🥰

[mandyfire98]

I'd like to go to the Christmas market

[CoolCatMar1]

This sounds so exciting

[Wish4UrB00ty]

I think my favorite memory is one year we were making bunk beds for a brother and I and then my parents decided to do’s papier-mâché tree which I remember as taking weeks… and I spent that December sleeping in the living room couch watching g my dad build a tree…. I need to ask them about this one because it sounds ridiculous to me now…

[mattyprince]

I absolutely love Christmas! Favourite Christmas memory is our first Christmas with our daughter and we're all in our matching PJ's! Super cheesy right?

[mandyfire98]

Adorable.

[UnknownSwede]

I guess Christmas gifts as kid is good memories.

Not really a fan of Christmas in general though. I'm pretty indifferent to Christmas as a holiday.
Family gatherings with children makes my introverted brain tired and not too big fan of the food.

[Sirenboobzilla]

One time when we went to Czechia to visit the grandparents and we were all together for a huge fire. I think we were all up till almost dawn just telling stories. My paternal grandpa made the BEST hot cocoa ever

[lalaloveee]

The only thing I like about Christmas is that wear led panties. Receiving gifts doesn't excite me. I may not even accept a gift box without led panties inside.

[Wish4UrB00ty]

Like L. E. D. or like actually led?… I’m so confused?

[BLP11520]

When my sons were little, those were the best

[mandyfire98]

All grown but good boys now.

[BLP11520]

Yes they are

[oceanAndSeas]

I was on vacation in Thailand this Christmas and met a lesbian russian couple. I regret for one of them being a lesbian. She was a perfect person. The type you wouldn’t want to let go in your life. Loving, sensitive, talented and humble

[Dnice1]

Christmases as kid, there was more people, we had lots of traditions we did and lots of gifts and a whole lot of family.

[JPresidente]

Yes, it’s my favorite time of year. I just remember being a kid and going through the anticipation of what I might get - certain toys or a bike.

[Guardian45]

I don't celebrate Christmas, but I enjoy it as a time to catch up and get together with family and friends, especially those that I have not seen in a longtime, like in hometown

[exitseven]

Freshman year in college i went Christmas shopping with my girlfriend.

[Jennz6]

Knocked the Christmas tree down when I was 7 years old

[JonAsk69]

I absolutely Love Christmas!!! Definitely my favorite time of year as well. I have too many memories that are positive to pick one.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I, my sister, and two of Her friends were talking in a creek. It wasn’t on 7 January or 25 December, but it was on the holiday of Tisha B’Av, the day that many rabbis reckon the Messiah would be/was born.

[nudeNhorny]

The little things, like decorating the tree, family's gathering, gift shopping...

[TallAnon]

Just being relaxed, eating a nice meal with my parents and sister.

[Anonymous]

[Yellovv]

I like to go outside in busy places in Christmas and New year time...

[jamesgoldman]

My grandparents house with a tableful of booze I couldn't touch, decorations everywhere and the huge feasts

[Date_a_Snob]

The best Christmas gift I ever got was a GameBoy Color in Pikachu yellow

[Dat-Alpha-Lion]

Just relaxing by myself. Nothing too special.
