- I've mentioned this before but my favorite holiday memory is the homemade Christmas ornaments my grandmother made over the years. We put them on the tree this year and I boohooed for a good bit after.
- In 2005, I spent New Years with my parents, my brother, two of my brother's friends, and a friend of mine. None of us thought to pick up alcohol. It was my first New Years after I turned 21. A neighbor gave us corn whiskey that resulted in a 6 hour tape of us singing a karaoke version of Cheeseburger In Paradise and Fins over and over again. Never again but it was hilarious.
- When I was 16, I rang in the New Year with girlfriends from high school. I was introduced to the comedy of Eddie Izzard that night and an obsession was born. I still love the guy.
- I may have the year wrong, but we had a blizzard in 1993 where the snow drifts ended up higher than I was tall. I was around 9 then so it may have been 4 foot drifts, but still. I remember making an igloo, several dozen snowmen, and sledding in the neighbor's field.
- Christmas 2008 is my favorite for one simple reason. I graduated from college in December 2008 and Christmas was my first holiday with a degree. It was awesome knowing I didn't have to go back in January, that I could focus on work finally.
I could come up with a dozen more favorite memories but I have to help wrap presents tonight so I'll leave it here. What is your favorite memory during the holidays? Tell me in the comments below!
Love is love, no matter the back story. <3 DS

1993 we lived in Clifton near UC...but I worked in Florence, KY. The snow was so bad that the state of KY was closed for more than a week! I had to take vacation days! When I was finally allowed to return to work, it took me more than a day to dig out my car (in shifts) and then nearly 3 hours to make the normally 20 minute trip to Florence.
I think you have the right year.
I thought it was 1993 although for some reason, I started out thinking it was in 1996. No idea. My years run together after so long. Sounds like I should be glad to have been a kid during the blizzard. :)
