Welcome to day 3 of my 12 Days of Christmas! Today I'm going to talk about my favorite Christmas Memory. Sadly I don't have a scanner so I can't add pictures. Until I was about 8, my mom was a single parent but took Christmas very seriously. When I was 5 we lived in a tiny apartment and it was the best Christmas ever! In school I had made reindeer food which was basically oats and glitter. I went out on our deck and dumped it all over the snow right before bed. Around 3 AM my older sister shook me awake whispering that Santa came! I made her crawl out to our tree and see what was out there because I wasn't going to get in trouble! My mom typically made us wait until at least 7 to open presents but not this year. She heard us and knew we wouldn't fall back asleep. I got my own miniature sized recliner and a game boy and so much more! We stayed up until about 5 AM and finally fell back asleep. Looking back I'm so thankful for my mom. Somehow she made every Christmas the best even though we didn't have a lot of money. She still does it now! I can't wait to hear your favorite memories!

Jerica
