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?

Our Christmas was never on the actual day. Mom and dad rarely had a day off together, so we always grabbed whatever day that was. I remember one year they were so busy, we had Thanksgiving and Christmas on December 10th.

They sound like good people. You going home for Christmas this year at all?
