Christmas memories

[xp_wallflower]

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?

Hah! Brilliant. How old are the niece and nephew?

They're twins, so they're both eight. Gailyn and Joey, a girl and a boy. They're very creative, which is a problem when they start finding unique ways to destroy things.

Sounds like a handful, but a fun one. I'm told eight is a good age. Mostly I remember my time at that age being full of mischief.
