It’s a bittersweet Christmas memory but my favorite. This Christmas was the last Christmas we spent with me Uncle Bob (my mothers brother) he would pass away the following year at the age of 31. I was 7 years old but remember everything vividly. Massive assortment of freshly baked pies, cookies (my favorite no bake cookies) Rice Krispies treats and every other staple Christmas food. We had a huge real tree in the corner of the room with Bing Crosby white Christmas album playing in the background. This Christmas memory is my favorite because it was the last Christmas we spent together truly as an entire family. Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas all packed in at my house. Christmas will always be my favorite holiday. No other holiday brings about more Joy, Love, Caring and Giving. My family taught me that from a very early age.

My favorite Christmas memories are seeing other peoples reactions to the presents I got them. Christmas is a time of giving, and there is nothing more rewarding than that!

“I’ll never forget the time my Dad was fixing something up on the roof a couple days after Christmas… he yelled down to my sister and I that he saw reindeer paw prints up there. I was fired up!! I was getting to that age where I was starting to have some questions about Santa, but this ensured a couple more years of belief.”

One year for Christmas I decided to write a cookbook of all my secret family recipes and stories. I gave one to each family member as a surprise gift and everyone loved it so much. The hardest I’ve ever worked, but completely worth it!

Christmas is my absolute favorite. And especially Christmas music. A few years ago Mamma decided she wanted to start playing the violin again. So she started practicing Christmas songs to be ready to play them on Christmas Day. We played a bunch of duets together for the family. Over the years my nieces and nephews have joined in on their guitars and piano and everyone sings. And when my Granny was still with us, who was over 100 years old, would close her eyes and smile and sing along. It was so special having the family all together in music on Christmas Day!

“My best Christmas memory was when I was when I was 12 years old. I thought that I had gotten all of my presents, but when I opened my card from my parents. They had set up a little scavenger hunt with notes, and notes led to an amp. It was the first tube amp I’d ever gotten and was little a million times bigger than anything I’d ever played. Still have it!”

My best memory was spending Christmas with my grandma knowing it would be her last one. I got my dad and her Toronto Maple Leaf tickets and dinner downtown to go out together. Probably the best gift I ever gave knowing the situation.

Taylor Abram
When I was 15, we had a great Christmas – I got a bunch of stuff I wanted and had made it through my gifts, when my dad handed me one last gift. I opened up it up and it was a finished toilet paper roll, and I looked at him really confused, cause his jokes are usually pretty bad… And as I was about to throw it at him or toss it away, he said to ‘look inside’ – and it was two tickets to Matchbox 20, my first concert. Pretty filthy!

Connor Stephen
Apparently, when I was around the age of four my family sat down for Christmas dinner and my mom realized I was missing. She left the table and went looking for little Conny only to discover that her two brothers, my Uncle Ty and Todd, had duct taped me to the floor in the basement. Happy Holidays from the Stephen residence!
