We’re not exactly sure where this shirt came from, but we think it came from my dad. If so, he probably bought it at Kmart. The design has grown on me! The pup is too cute!

Did you ever want a puppy for Christmas? I know I wanted one! One year, I gave my brother a goldfish. It is really HARD to wrap a pet! (I think I just put a red bow on top of the fish tank.)

My uncle was notorious for saying “Bah Humbug!” which my brother (around age 6) picked up from him. (My mother was thrilled!) So the hat Skotte is wearing amuses me, and I remember those times fondly.

Skotte’s family has a tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve. Usually, it was a gift with lots of parts, meant to keep kids busy all night, and for maximum fun! Another tradition is watching the Claymation Christmas Special. Love it!

They have a Christmas tradition of being the first person to shout “Christmas Gift” on Christmas day before the other person can say it! For example, if Skotte’s dad had to work overnight, he might call home at midnight, and one of the kids or Skotte’s mom would pick up the phone while yelling “Christmas Gift!” so they would win!

But really, on Christmas, everyone wins.
