I’m not much of a Christmas person myself, but I’d still like to hear some wholesome or funny stories. What is your most memorable, most extraordinary, or simply happiest Christmas memory so far?

    Had to have been 98 at a big family Christmas; grandparents gave me a box of giant, bright red whitey tighteys which was awful and ultra embarrassing, but buried inside was Zelda Ocarina of Time. My brother got the N64. Also everybody was still alive or much younger then, so that’s a really nice memory.

        Wasn’t intentional. I was just thinking back and remembering, and realized that a lot of the people there are now gone forever. Life is so short. Decades fly by like the snap of your fingers. Sure, stuff happens, but it’s all too fast. Eventually, we will all be the oldest generation and responsible for all those that come after. Maybe I’m just dumb, though, and struggle with truly comprehending my own existence.

          I meant wrapping the actual present in embarrassing underwear 😄 But I can see where you are going with your thoughts. I too have trouble wrapping my head around the shortness of existence sometimes.

            Oh yeah, that too. They totally got me. I was VERY embarrassed in front of my entire extended family.
