The year where it felt like I hit the jackpot of presents including Santa 🙂👍. I remember it well. I got the Nintendo entertainment system and dad and my niece and I played nonstop shooting those ducks on duck hunt. Also got an Apple IIe computer. Later when the rest of the family came Dad told me to close my eyes and he set a huge box in front of me unwrapped. I faked surprise and got away with it because - what kid doesn’t look around for Christmas presents? 😉😛. Anyway it was a Star Wars - Return of the Jedi Imperial Shuttle Tydirium. It was beautiful artwork and it was Huge to play with. Swing wings if you turned it upside down, two flip up landing gear, press a button on main grip and the wings would flop down quickly.

If I'm being honest then the best part of Christmas used to be chocolates. My parents used place chocolates under my pillow every Christmas and say Santa gave them to me 😂. I knew it was then, and I used to tell them it was them, but I never caught them red handed. Every Christmas, I used to try to stay awake to catch them when they'd come to place them under my pillow, but I used to fall asleep. And next morning, it's there.

I still remember the first time I didn't find anything under my pillow. I was a grown up, still bummed about it 😅

When I was 9, my grandma came over from Czechia by surprise. It was the last time she ever came to visit. She's still alive, just too old to make that trip

I had cousins that lived out of state. Thy were my favorite cousins and they would always come here for Christmas. We would go to movies or go sledding and one year we even went to see The Rolling Stones.

They are all very sweet memories. My family really made our Christmas and New Year the most memorable and magical.

I was at my Aunt and Uncle's hotel in Trinidad & Tobago with all of my cousins and when we were going to any beach, we got on to the back of the truck and talked. I still remember tapping on the trunk to make a beat for the song "Where is the Love" by Black Eyed Peas and all my cousins joined in to sing. It was a bright sunshiny day. That along with the experiences at the beaches were some of my best and most memorable childhood memories.

Waking up. Going downstairs with my parents to open presents after santa had been.
I was 6 and it was our last Christmas together as a proper family. As it turned out my mother had been cheating on my father and eventually left him. I'm still bitter at my mother about that and hate the guy she left my father for

When I was a cop I arrived at the tail end of a shooting on Christmas Day. Two homeboys blasting away at each other. As no one got hit and the suspects beat-feat, there was no paperwork. That was a nice Christmas present.
