It's the annual Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories! I've participated the past three years (2009, 2010, and 2011),
and rather than simply re-post, I'm going to link to the older posts,
and - when applicable - post about something else that's somewhat
related.
Given that it's almost Christmas and I am still running late (on this blog and on holiday preparations), I'm going to catch up by covering two prompts in one post today.
The prompt for yesterday was: December 22 – Christmas and Deceased Relatives
Did your family visit the cemetery at Christmas? How did your family honor deceased family members at Christmas?
In previous years, I wrote about how various family holiday traditions remind me of my deceased relatives..
The prompt for today is: December 23 – Christmas Sweetheart Memories
Do you have a special memory of a first Christmas present from a sweetheart? How did you spend your first Christmas together? Any Christmas engagements or weddings among your ancestors?
In previous years, I wrote about some of the gifts my sweetie gave me when we first met - way back in 1979, 1980, and 1981. He still gets me wonderful Christmas gifts - usually an unusual piece of jewelry. Here are some examples from 2006:
