My favorite holiday memory from my childhood was the year I got a Cabbage patch doll. I wasn’t expecting it because they were so hard to find, but my mom found one for me and I still remember how excited I was when I unwrapped it.

One year my mom wrapped up this hip-high box and told me that was all I was getting. I was disappointed since my little brother had gotten a ton of presents. Christmas morning I opened my box to find all my presents wrapped up inside! If I ever do have kids I swear I’m doing this one year…

When I was about 6, we gathered as usual in my grandparents’ home, it was Christmas eve and we’re also celebrating our newly born cousin. My grandpapa was holding him in his arms, when he suddenly handed him over to my grandma and said that he felt something funny in his arms. He got his first stroke attack. I never forget the supposed to be beautiful night turned into nightmare that year. He passed away 10 years after the incident. He always be in our heart.

I remember once when I was little (i think I was 7) I really wanted a unicorn for christmas. Of course I didn’t realize this was impossible! So when I woke up on Christmas morning, my dad had actually created the outline of a unicorn on the side of our house with christmas lights. I know it sounds kinda tacky LOL, but I was so happy and it actually looked pretty cool! My favorite memory of christmas ever!

One of the memories that stand out to me from my childhood was the year when i was about 5 years old and my brothers and i still believed in Santa and thought he was real. That year my parents went out of their way to make it a truly magical christmas for us, going so far as to make it sound as if there were Reindeer that landed on the roof, and making it seem like Santa “ate and drank” the milk and cookies we left out for him. But the most memorable thing of all was my parents arranging for “Santa” to actually talk to us on the phone.( it was actually one of the priests from our Parish who agreed to play as Santa and talk to us about the real meaning of christmas etc.) I still remember how breathless i felt being able to really talk to “Santa Claus” that night. It was truly a magical christmas that i will always remember.

One of my favorite memories as a child was that my mom always made us our Christmas gifts. It was the year when cabbage patch dolls were all the rage. We were too poor to get them so my mom made us a version of the dolls. (there were four of us) At the time it didn’t register that she worked very hard on those dolls. I loved the doll and took very good care of her. I still have the doll and will give it to my daughter this year for Christmas.

My favorite memory from my childhood was the time we used a tumbleweed as a tree because we didn’t have the gas to go drive out and cut down our own, it was fun making the paper ornament for it.

My favorite holiday memory was when my family and I went for a trip in Cameron Highlands. My aunts and uncles brought their families along. It was like a big reunion and I loved it.

One of my fave memories was when I was 8 at a big holiday Christmas with all my cousins (lots of them). Santa made an appearance (it was obviously my uncle, who is asian also, dressed up in a rented costume)… and one of the little ones yelled out.. “Why is Santa Chinese?”… it was really funny.
