[QUOTE="donna723, post: 222037, member: 1883"] Jennifer, you are SO right! When I look back to when I was a kid, the things I remember most fondly weren't about the gifts at all. We lived near family then with my grandparents and tons of aunts and uncles and cousins around. Even the trees we had back then were kind of pitiful but I thought they were beautiful! I didn't even mind it being horribly cold because that meant it was Christmas! The thing that I remember so vividly was going to church on Christmas Eve. They always had their little Christmas program for the Sunday School kids (where you had to memorize your little part of the Christmas story out of the Bible and recite it) on Christmas Eve. We went to this very old, very beautiful church, the kind with the elaborate carved wood alters, a pipe organ and stained glass windows (and it's [I]still[/I] there!). And on Christmas Eve they had two huge Christmas trees at the front of the church. I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! And it didn't cost us a dime! I always felt sorry that my own kids don't have memories of anything like that. [/QUOTE]
