Nice pics Rip. Not everyone would be brave enough to dig into the past and post it here.

Say, are those toys made of real metal and painted with lead-based paint?

Ahhhhh...the good ole days.

And definitely don't use styrofoam cups...plastic ones are much better!

I don't know if it's my favorite memories or not, but a few years ago, I was going to LA to see my wife and met up with her at her office Christmas party.

I was suffering from the cross country flight, and on the plane I was told that if I took off my shoes and scrunched the carpet with my toes, it would help with the jet lag. So there I was, scrunching my toes in one of the offices, a Christmas party happening next door, when all of the sudden automatic weapons fire and shouts in German above the screams of the party goers... well as a New York cop, I sprang into action....

When I was in the 6th grade I got Monogram’s 1/48th scale: B-17, B-24 & B-29. I also got a Cox gas control line P-51 and some other planes. My entire wish list was model airplanes; that’s all I asked for and that was all I got.

We sat down for our turkey dinner and when Dad went to slice it, it let out a burst of steam and collapsed into a heap of overdone crust. Then our Uncles dog started gacking on a bone, and the cat started the tree on fire by biting through the wires.

Was crazy!

Didn't you kill the whole neighborhood's power with your Christmas Light supreme? And your crazy damned cousin with his RV? If he ever comes back....

Actually I have a pretty good Christmas memory every year.

I have Christmas Eve at my house where all the family comes over.
At some point we get all my kids little neices & nephews,couple grand nephews, and whatever other kids may be in attendance around and I read them "The Night Before Christmas" out of the very same book that it was read to me when I was little some 30+ years ago.

My mother saved it and when I had a child of my own she gave it to me as a Christmas Gift

Now I read it to all the kids.

Sometimes even the not so little kids will gather round for it.

I figure the faces will change but I'll be doing it for the next 30 years or so.

Also figure that at the rate my beard is turning gray.
I will very much look the part long before then LOL

Last year my kids got bags of coal and letters of reprimand from Santa, I kid you not. They had been awful and were getting worse: talking back, not doing chores, not cleaning up, fighting, etc. If you tell them you’re going to write to Santa if they don’t shape up, you have to follow through. This year/season they have been fantastic, and we’ve had a good chunk of our Christmas shopping done 14 months ahead.
