Stream of consciousness memories:
Waiting behind the closed kitchen door in while Erich lit the candles on the tree.
Unwrapping the traditional gift of Scottish shortbread from Grandma and Grandpa Fenton
Arguing over who was going to brave the basement in order to retrieve the ornaments
Stirring the batter for Christmas cake and wishing for a horse (never came true)
Toddler lying beneath the tree and staring up at the lights in fascination
DNe whacking his dad in the head with a putter - by accident of course
Dad telling the story of the tree skirt to the dogs
Frog Man Bradley and other K-Tel sensations
Getting drunk on Christmas pudding, gravy, and stuffing (not all in the same year)
Too many embarassing family shenanigans tied with an equal number of endearing family moments
Dark night, bright stars and breathtaking cold in Wawa
Snow falling gently down
Feeling the truth of O Holy Night at church on Christmas Eve in PEI
The Grinch, Charlie Brown, Burl Ives, Fred Astaire and Ralphie - classics one and all
Roger Whittaker, David Bowie, Bing Crosby, Heinje
Skip the advertisement and enjoy - Merry Christmas to you all
Stille Nacht
