hang lights and every now and again I'll beg someone
to do it for me. But I so appreciate the
neighbors that spend hours decorating their houses because my kids
love that.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, that's one reason I do that, because not as
much as for some of my kids. Ask me, Dad
wanted to do it? I said, because other people at

Speaker 1 (02:38):
So would you like to tell me your favorite Christmas
memories or Christmas traditions?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, our tradition with me and Mom is always put
the Christmas tree together.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do you use a live tree or do you have
a tree that you get to store in the attic?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
A tree with store in the attic.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, that that just works so much better sometimes, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, we used to have a real tree, but every time,
every year, it always get all over the floor.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah. The older I get, the grumpier I'm getting, the
more I'm thinking, I don't want that mess all over
my floor.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You know it used to be.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh, I love the smell of a real tree, but
now you can get the fake ones that smell just
as good.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, And I'm just thinking, I don't know if I
want to clean up the mess this year. So you
and mom always decorate the tree. Yeah, And do you
do things like have friends over to bake cookies?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
No, but this year I'm thinking about doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
How old are you?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, I'm thirteen, So you're old enough to host a
cookie bake off with your girlfriends.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, which is fun.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
God, bless you, honey, Thank you for listening. You're welcome
and thank you. Hi Mickey, Happy holidays.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I understand you have a great story to tell me
about a Christmas Christmas memory.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yes, my children were always in the habit of browsing
through the closets and everything in the house.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Browsing Is that a nice word for snooping? Yes, trying
to find what mom has hidden.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Correct. So this one year I had this big, tremendous
travel trunk that I kept my Nativity seen in. So
I took my Nativity set out and set it up,
and I set my Christmas tree on top of the trunk.
But I had the children's gifts in the trunk, and
(04:41):
so it got Christmas Eve and he said, well, Mom,
where's our presence because they've searched tie and low right,
And I told him, I said, you're all getting nothing
for Christmas. So they're all grown. In a couple of
years ago, my daughter asked me, Mom. She says, for
(05:05):
two three years we searched the house and couldn't find
any Christmas gifts. She said, where did you hire them?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And did you ever confess?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I told her, since her children are grown, I told her,
I said, yeah, I hit him in my big travel
trunk right.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Under the Christmas tree.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, those that you hid, combined with those that Santa
brought must have made a pretty spectacular Christmas.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
It sure did.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I always get a couple of gifts from my kids,
and then I wait for Santa to get the big
special one.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Well, she told her kids, she says, blieve me, there
is a Santa Claus.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yes, there is, and he lives in the hearts of
all of us. Right, let me play a song for
your grown children.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
God bless you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
God bless you. Happy holidays. Hi Rena, Hi Delilah. Are
you going to share your favorite Christmas memory with us?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Yes? I am. My favorite memory of Christmas is one
that I created when our oldest daughter was born twenty
eight years ago. I wanted to do something special for that.
I didn't know what I wanted to do at Christmas.
Looking at the ornaments that our own family tree that
were handed down over generations, I knew that's what I
wanted to do, was to collect ornaments, but not to
(06:28):
put on our tree, but for our daughter's own tree someday.
And so I put her name and the year on
the ornament, and I wrapped it carefully in tissue paper,
and I placed it and the only thing that I
had available at the time, which was an old boot box,
and I stuck it up in the closet. And each
year I proceeded to do that and as the kit
(06:48):
as my two daughters. After two years we had another daughter,
and when they were old enough, they would show me
the ornaments that they liked in the store, and then
I would go back and purchase one of the ornaments
that was their favorite without them knowing it. And I
kept doing it until my oldest daughter got married, and
on her wedding day, I handed her a boot box
(07:10):
and when she opened it up, she found all of
the favorite ornaments that she had forgotten about over the years,
with the dates on them, and made it special because
she had a collection of ornaments to start her own
Christmas tree with.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What a wonderful tradition she and you did this without
her even knowing it.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Without her even who would have looked in an old
boot box?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But my kids would have well, what a great tradition.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Well, everybody has traditions, and I wanted something special.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Well, you have a merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing
with us.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Merry Christmas to you. I enjoy your show immensely.
Speaker 2 (07:42):

moments as much as I enjoy bringing them to you.
