I don't usually like to share personal stories, but with Dec 25th wrapping up (pun intended) I felt like sharing my favourite holiday memory.

My mother had never heard of Undertale (much less played it), but she knew I was passionate about it. This tag shows that she took the time and effort to learn about the wonderful characters of Undertale and figure out which character was the most like us (she, of course, being Toriel, and me being Papyrus!)

It may not seem like much, but for me, it's a stark reminder of just how much of just how much love and labour she has given me throughout my life, and I will forever be in her debt.

P.S. Sorry for getting all sentimental. ;-;

From the 1966 Sears' Christmas Catalog.

I remember the TV commercials for Captain Action, and I was impressed that he could become different comic book heroes. Really wanted the Superman outfit because there were no Superman action figures at the time. And he would be the same size as my G.I. Joes!

My folks, on the other hand, thought having G.I. Joe was enough for me, so they were not about to start me collecting yet another toy line.

Years later I understand their reasoning, especially as tight as money was back then. But it still would've been sweet to have the superhero outfits (which were sold separately from Captain Action) to put on my Joes.

50s, 60s Christmas. My mother had that cardboard fireplace. I used to lay in front of it, watching the flames flickering. It was done by using a large Christmas light that was surrounded by a frame that had a small pin at the top right above the bulb. (usually red or orange) You would then balance on that pin a small metal fan with about 5 blades, and the heat from the bulb would make it spin, and that would create the flickering of the flames. It is the one thing from my childhood that I wish I still had. It has never felt like Christmas since.

A Christmas Memory

This day, I am taken back to the 1990s when our three girls were toddlers and while they might not remember this, especially our youngest, I do. I purchased a CD,  A Child’s Christmas by Tom Paxton and it became a regular at our house for many years. It is a joyful album and takes me back to those simpler years. The entire recording is here. The track listing is below: 1. We’re Going To Get Our…

For Scott's Christmas Challenge, I'd like to share a favorite Christmas memory. I think you'll appreciate it.

When my kids were little, it became I increasingly more important to me for our family to have traditions of our own, rather than just the traditions celebrated by my in-laws. So I made sure that we'd have our own fancy holiday feast in our home around our family table on the weekend before Christmas (because the in-laws wouldn't budge on having Christmas dinner at their place). I used Grandpa's birthday (12-20) as an excuse to gather the family together, but every detail of the meal was pure Christmas.

At the time, my kids (and I) adored The Muppet Christmas Carol. So imagine my delight when my 4-year old daughter took her seat at table while I lit the candles, and taking note of the bounty on the table and the faces of those she loved all around it, she exclaimed: God Bless us every one!

That was the connection I meant to forge for them. And the most beautiful reward I could receive for all my efforts.🥹🥹🎄

Anon! That is the sweetest thing I ever ever heard! I love that story so much. Aaawww that’s so precious.

Aaaw that makes me happy. Thank you so much for sharing that with me.

Also, you’ll appreciate this too. I bought me a Muppets Christmas Carol sweatshirt, and I’m waiting for it to come in.

((It’s so cool that I want one too))

BAD CAT!

We had a biscuit incident Christmas Day ----- some critter decided to walk on top of the biscuits as they were rising in the tray - thankfully there was a tea towel covering them.

Of course we baked them and devoured them -- probably the best batch of biscuits my husband has made yet!

Christmas memories!

Remembering Eddie Redmayne for a very special CBeebies Bedtime Story on Christmas Day 2017, on the BBC 🦕 🎄

(Excerpt) bbc.co.uk

On Christmas Day’s CBeebies Bedtime Story, Eddie Redmayne read "If I Had a Dinosaur", by Gabby Dawnay and illustrated by Alex Barrow, about a little girl who dreams of having a pet of her very own. But what kind of pet would make the best companion?

Eddie said: “I had the most wonderful time reading the CBeebies Bedtime Stories. Books before bed were always such an essential part of my growing up and it’s so lovely to be able to continue the tradition. I hope you enjoy the stories and Happy Christmas.” -Eddie Redmayne -

The Countdown Is On!

I can't believe that there is only TWO more days until Christmas! This month. this year has just flown by! I can't lie 2022 has been a turd of a year and I am happy that it is almost at an end.

While I am looking forward to the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, I can't let the holiday come and go without another top 5 list to get you in a festive mood.

Today I am going to deck your halls with my top 5 Christmas specials! Long before streaming services and physical media, specials like A Charlie Brown Christmas could only be viewed once a year, unless "taped" off of TV during the broadcast.

Shows like this were an event. No matter what you were doing you made sure that you were bathed, in front of the TV, snack in hand, and ready when it came on. I miss those days, simpler times indeed.

Enough reminiscing, on to the list!

5. A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

A Charlie Brown Christmas is definitely one of my favorite holiday offerings. A very relatable tale especially growing up Catholic and having participated in several Christmas pageants showcasing the Nativity story. I still volunteer for our church's live nativity :)

4. Frosty the Snowman (1969)

Ah... Frosty the Snowman, not only when this was airing did it mean Christmas was not too far off, but also painted a great picture of how that first snow made you feel as a kid. Snow always did seem like a magical event back then. It sparked imagination and creativity in your outdoor play, and it also had the ability to give you a day off from school! Today I could take or leave snow, mostly leave, but watching Frosty on wintry day with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate, wrapped in a blanket and on the couch, you can easily be transported back in time.

3. A Claymation Christmas Celebration (1987)

A Claymation Christmas Celebration was extra special because it was, at the time a brand-new Christmas special. If you look at the previous entries on this list, they all predated me. The Claymation Christmas was riding on the success that the California Raisins stop motion animation advertisements were having. Classic Christmas carols were showcased such as "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" being performed by the California Raisins and a comical bell-choir performance of "Carol of the Bells." In between the performances the dinosaur hosts Rex and Herb go back and forth on the appropriate title and lyrics to "Here We Come A-Wassailing."

The show's creator Will Vinton had released similar specials that predate this one, but I was never aware of them until I got the DVD that included A Claymation Christmas Celebration and the other holiday themed shorts.

If you have never seen this, I highly recommend seeking it out.

2. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (1978)

I shared a brief post about this special earlier, but Christmas Eve on Sesame Street was one of my favorites and holds a special place in my heart.

I don't recall this being on every year or catching it when it was on but the memories around this are what have it in my number two spot.

I remember one Christmas eve when I was too little to go to the evening Mass and I was home with my mom. I just remember watching this while she got things ready for the company that we would have over later that night. The two stand out memories for me were when Cookie Monster trying to write a last-minute letter to Santa eats his pencil and then later tries to call but eats the phone and near the end seeing the snow fall on Big Bird as he tries to wait up for Santa and falls asleep. I always felt bad for Big Bird because Oscar was a jerk to him.

It wouldn't be until many years later where I bought the DVD and re-watched for the first time in a long time.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

For years, at least in my mind, this was the big-time event. Christmas was here! With commercial breaks included Rudolph was an hour-long event. All other specials were just a half-hour so you knew this was special, and it was and still is today.

Rudolph was always very relatable as I think at some point in every child's life the sometimes feel like a "misfit." In the end however, the misfittiest of them all proves to be the most useful and is tasked with leading.

And there you have it, another list in the books. With so many good specials from the past, it was hard to pick my top five, but I did it and have no regrets!

What are some of your favorite Christmas specials? I would love to know.

Have a great Christmas!

From the 1967 Gamble-Alden's Christmas Catalog.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I never saw this catalog because Gamble-Alden's was a Midwest store. But if I had, I certainly would've circled those Captain Action items for my Santa list.

Not so much the G.I. Joes pictured. I was never into "talking" action figures, and I didn't want my Joes wearing military academy uniforms - I wanted them in fighting gear!

The jeep and the motorcycle with sidecar, on the other hand, would've been very welcome! I forgot just how many vehicles Hasbro made for G.I. Joe during the early years of the line.

JusJoJan24 and Stream of Consciousness Saturday 1/20/2024 Christmas Nuts #socs #jusjojan24 #christmasmemories #nostalgia

FelixMittermeier | Pixabay When I was a kid, the only time of year that my parents splurged and bought candy and nuts in bulk was at Christmas time. The grocery store would put out bins with dividers for all kinds of candy and nuts. You’d use a big old metal scoop and fill your paper sack then weigh it on the hanging scale to find out how much it weighed, and you’d write the weight on the paper…
