Christmas memories

When I was very little and my Grandparents were still alive, we would always take a trip at Christmas to somewhere new.
It wasn't always far away but I remember my Grandfather would always tell stories about wherever it was that we went.
He was a history teacher but his favourite was early Eqyptian. He was the one that gave me my love of biographies.
There's always something to learn from both what someone writes for themselves and what others write about them.
So, what are your Christmas memories? Beyond the presents and the lights, what does this time of year mean to you?

Needless to say my mom doesn't display that one around the niece and nephew when they come over for Christmas.

He told me he threw the ornament box away, but I found it stashed away in a back closet one time when I was snooping for my presents. One day I'm going to ask him for it and have a tree of my own.
