When my first Brother and I were 11 and 10, we got up at 2am and found 1 gift that he got from Santa. It was a Chinese Checkers Board. We were obsessed with the game when we went to visit my grandmothers house on Sundays, we'd play against our Grandfather or Grandmother or our Aunts and uncles and cousins. We played and played everytime we visited. (which was like once a week atleast) So when we saw this game under the tree, we squirreled it away into my brother room and we played all night until 6am when we got couldn't contain the excitement any longer and went and woke up our little sister so she would wake up Mom and Dad.
Remember when, the last week before Christmas was time to decorate and finish up the shopping?
Remember when you would line up to go see Santa one last time just to be sure he didn't forget what you wrote him in that letter last week? You knew he had lots of letters, you really didn't want to get yours lost in the pile.
Remember when you would go to the see Santa at the local fire station (it was the biggest red/yellow truck available) and bring home a bag of candy? this stuff

Remember singing in a Christmas Concert at night? Or reading your prewritten part, because you didn't get picked to sing (please mouth the words).
Remember going door to door singing? but it wasn't singing to houses, you went singing to the Downtown stores instead which got really cold really quick?
What do you Remember from Christmas gone by? Have you kept any of those traditions or has time taken the innocence away?
