Monday Memory

Since I have been wrapping presents for the boys today, I thought I might share with you a Christmas memory. If you know me well, you know I NEVER peek at my Christmas presents. Even growing up, I wasn't into sneaking around finding out what my Christmas presents were. EXCEPT.........
This one year when I was about 14-15 years old. Atari just came out and I wanted it so bad. My mom and dad kept telling me that it was way too much money to spend on a game. Now it wasn't like they wouldn't spend that much money on me anyway. I told them it was the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas. They had me so convinced I wasn't gonna get it. So one day when they weren't around, I went into the entry room next to our living room and dug through the packages. I carefully opened what I would be the size of box an Atari came in and to my surprise there it was!! But instead of being so excited about getting what I wanted, I had such guilt that it ruined it for me. Of course, when I opened it on Christmas, I acted surprised and I was truly thrilled, but it ruined the anticipation and excitement of Christmas for me! I swore to myself that day I would NEVER do that again! And to this day, nearly 25 years later, I have NEVER peeked at a Christmas present!! LOL!

Until next time.....

God Bless~
