That's awesome! I've heard of it, but never knew anyone it happened to. Dan- Are you implying that you don't snore? What's wrong with you? Rosslyn-

Dan-
Are you implying that you don’t snore? What’s wrong with you?

Living in the same town as the family generally means that you stay at your own house and go over Christmas morning after you wake up. The first year that Kara and I were married, my wife decided that we would miss too much on the morning of the 25th if we were not in the house. I believe that it involved seeing J-Bob first thing when he saw what Santa brought. Since all the bedrooms were full, we spread the cushions from the couch onto the floor and used that as a bed. (Our poodle slept with Dad) The funniest (and most precious memory) was our dear Grandmother who snored all night long on the fold-out couch bed 10' from us. All in all, we had a great Christmas with the family. Now just the thought of sleeping on cushions on the floor is enough to make me sore.

Especially the two-player games. I don't like today's video games at all (controllers too complicated), but I'll still play Combat on our Atari Flashback. My favorite Christmas memory was finding out that my parents had arranged the long-term loan of a pony for my sister and me. What better present could a little girl get? :-) Travis – I loved Combat!

I'm also reminded when we were in Cloudcroft for Christmas and we were having a fine time until little baby Seth got sick and we had to take him to the ER. The joy comes when you are released and allowed to return to normal living! Mrs. Travis’ story is the best one!

I think I was about 10 years old. That was ALL I wanted for Christmas. However, when I woke Christmas morning there was no Cabbage Patch Kid under the tree. I was disappointed to say the least. So we loaded up as we did every Christmas and went to my grandmothers house about 60 miles away. We enter the house, travel down a short hallway, turn the corner and YIPEE! Under the tree sat a beautiful red-haired, freckle faced Cabbage Patch Kid. I launched myself (my grandmother has a picture) at the tree and clutched my doll. It was later explained that Santa had forgot to leave it at my house and left it at grandmothers instead because of his tight schedule he did not have time to bring it back to my house. (Apparently, CPK were hard to come by in Texas, and my aunt who lived in California at the time was commissioned to find one.) I still have that beautiful doll and cherish the memory of the day I received her. My favorite memory is the year Cabbage Patch Kids first came out. I think I was about 10 years old.

Only there were four of us. And somehow I'm the ONLY one who ended up a morning person. So I sat awake for HOURS (at least that's how it felt) until the others were ready to get up.

We played Space Invaders and Combat until Dad couldn't stand it any longer. (There was probably a football game on, and in those days, famlies on had one TV). But we played for hours and hours. That was pretty awesome. Hmmm, I think I’ll go with the year we got an Atari for Christmas. We played Space Invaders and Combat until Dad couldn’t stand it any longer.
