gm3 memories of christmas. as an adult or a child.

as a child:

my first christmas ever. i was 6 and had been living with my parents for 3 weeks. it was amazing.

the year my dad brought home the first foster dog from work. she was a Rottweiler called "Sally" who wasnt aggressive enough to be a K9 cadet. she would have never made it to graduation. we had her for 8 months before she was adopted. she was the first dog i ever knew that had a sense of humor.

as an adult:

this year is shaping up to be surprisingly good so far. if all goes well, things may be turning around. (provided we live past friday of course)

GM3 holiday traditions you (or your family) invented.

Well, when I was with N (my only "family" experience as an adult; we lived together for ten years), we had a Christmas tradition where we gave our closest friends some cool thing out of our home that we didn't use much, and they did the same to us. It was a "recycle, rejoice" thing.

When I was a kid, my mom made these marshmallow snowmen we obsessed over till we were like in our forties and realized she had thrown them out—they were hard as rocks but we couldn't believe she'd thrown them out, LOL

My sister (I'll have to live vicariously through one of hers), used to give their first dog Mac a little doll, his "Christmas baby" that he tore apart and we would take ghoulish pictures of him doing so.
