Memories of Christmas Past

This week for
PINK SATURDAY
We are supposed to share favorite
Christmas Memories
***
This was my second Christmas.
1964
I was born in the summer so I was only
four months old my first Christmas.
I was still the only grandchild
**
As you can see by looking at my Mom in the red
I wouldn't be the only grandchild for long!

This is my Grama
(My Mom's Mom)
She passed away about 15 years ago
I still miss her!



By the next Christmas I had
sweet baby sister
Sally


We lost our precious Sally to
leukemia in 1970 at age 6
But I know we will be together again
some day!
This is me with Santa.
As you can tell, the jolly old elf
wasn't scary to me!

LillySue, I just love that picture of you in the red wagon. You don't have that around by chance do you? I wished I still had some of my Christmas toys to this day. Thanks for sharing and please stop by and let you share my Christmas memory.
Hugs and glitter, Patti

On this first Saturday of December ♥Jappy Pink Saturday♥. I was away for a while and sure missed running around the blogs arnd seeing all of the goodies everyone was sharing.

Thanks for the memory...

I remember when all of the women would wear a dress on the holidays. Boy, that sure was a long time ago, wasn't it?

It was a blessing for you to make my morning so much fun. Hoping that you and those you care about spend a wonderful weekend making memories that will last a lifetime☺

Great family photos. Gosh it sure was nice that people use to dress up for the holidays. So sorry to hear that your sister passed at such a young age but I do believe you will see her in Heaven one day.

Happy Pink Saturday, LillySue.

Just look at what a little doll you were, and you still are. Your photos show the love shared in your family.

I was saddened to learn about your sister. I know we are not supposed to hate, but I do hate cancer. I pray that some day there will be a cure for all cancers.

Very cute! Love the pictures. All those red curls are beautiful.

Happy Holidays
