| 3176 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: She would have 6,000 heart attacks at once, I'm guessing. @Kid C: Very nice work on the title card. Very nice. | Dec 11, 2015 |  | |
| 3177 | Article | Vaporman87 | Our get-togethers at our my Grandma's house were kind of like what you describe here. I didn't really know my cousins well (nor did I care much for them). So I just wanted to get the good stuff and get home. I would typically play with my haul until Christmas morning, after which those toys became all but forgotten for several weeks, if not forever. | What a Stuffy Party! | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 3178 | Article | Vaporman87 | We have poppers sitting on top of our piano right now. Hmmm. | Expl-ho-ho-ho-sion | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 3179 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's a bit outside the standard time frame we focus on... pre-2000's. I'll let it slide since it does focus on a specific personal holiday tradition. | The Post-Christmas Video Game Marathon | Dec 11, 2015 | |
| 3187 | Article | Vaporman87 | Superb read. Simply epic. There is so much nostalgic goodness just dripping from this, it makes ME want to go back to YOUR childhood and relive them one more time. LOL It's funny that one side of your family had 14 children, considering my mom came from a family of 13. They sure did pump out the kids back in their day, huh? I like that you include all the ways that you are incorporating some old traditions from your childhood into your own children's lives. That is something I can completely relate to, as I do the same thing. Sure, you get enjoyment out of continuing tradition, but you're mostly seeking to give your children the same joy that you KNOW they will experience in the same way you experienced it. There is no doubt that Christmas holds a special place in your heart. Thanks for sharing this amazing walk through your Christmas memories. | How I Remember Christmas | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3188 | Article | Vaporman87 | Oh, and I meant to mention that Tom Wopat and John Schneider did a Christmas album together too. I keep hearing songs from that album on SiriusXM Holiday Traditions (Ch. 18). | How I Remember Christmas | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3189 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great memory to share V. Thanks for that. It warms the heart! We do indeed make sure to take part on "Angel" Tree giving during this season. Sometimes it's as simple as a tag on one at the local grocer. Other times, it's church that is handling the exchange. Never have I heard of actually inviting the recipient to dinner at home. That is extremely generous, and that individual is truly a kind soul. I hope that one day you're able to find that family, and offer thanks to them. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3203 | Article | Vaporman87 | @vkimo: You'll get to see his work up close if you order a Christmas Goodie Pack. | Christmas Yuleogy | Dec 12, 2015 | |
| 3207 | Article | Vaporman87 | I am reminded of a similar tale from our very own fuschnikt from last year, 1990 - The Year Santa Died. I enjoy these stories of that final year that we actually believed. And, instead of feeling a tremendous sense of disappointment, we instead come to appreciate the efforts of the "real" Santas. Here, it seems it took little more than a sticker to "open your eyes". I'm guessing you already had your suspicions before that moment, being so easily swayed. Would that be an accurate assumption? | Operation Santa | Dec 13, 2015 | |
| 3208 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's a cliché, but an accurate one - "You don't know what you have, until it's gone." This hits very close to home for me. My relationship with my mom after my parents divorced was strained. There were a lot of things at play there, but it amounted to feeling unappreciated. So, by the time I became a parent, that relationship was almost non-existent. My wife actually convinced me to make things better, putting aside the past and forging ahead. So going to visit her with my wife and kids was an awkward and nervous affair. I was always glad to be leaving more so than anything else. Now that she is gone, I feel like I would give most anything for one more of those awkward Christmas visits. | Bah Humbug! | Dec 13, 2015 | |
