My cousin and I waited every day to see what happened to Prince Jonathan in search of Santa to help his father's kingdom, only to be captured by a pirate! My cousin made a copy of each chapter and included pictures in the back of our childhood--what memories! Thanks for stirring them up for me!!!!Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535989955846532310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-5571543363716641682011-12-20T17:22:13.410-07:002011-12-20T17:22:13.410-07:00I love all the history of you that is wrapped up i...I love all the history of you that is wrapped up in this memory. I especially love how you found so many ways to pass your memory on to others (both within and beyond your family).

My parents and I (plus my husband now) still squeeze onto the couch together on Christmas Eve to read The Night Before Christmas and The Polar Express. We pass the books down the couch and take turns reading page-by-page. It's been a Christmas Eve ritual as long as I can remember, and we are lucky to live close enough to my parents to keep it going! Someday we hope to squish a 3rd generation onto the couch to continue it further.JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-2701227105481771882011-12-20T12:45:50.573-07:002011-12-20T12:45:50.573-07:00I loved reading the funnies as a kid, too!

My favorite Christmas book was The Night Before Christmas. I can almost (still) recite it by heart! It's a story my kids love too! Enjoy baking with your granddaughter!

He taught me about the importance of reading the paper and even shared articles (that were probably way beyond my reading level) with me. While I didn't take to reading the paper independently as a kid, it inspired me to get my own subscription when I became a college student. <br /><br />Happy Holidays!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-3884433027912912102011-12-20T08:24:00.510-07:002011-12-20T08:24:00.510-07:00What a wonderful memory.
