Now, for my Christmas memory:

One particular memory stands out above all the rest.  This was when I was a very young child living in NH when my parents were still together.  One of our Christmas traditions was to open one gift on Christmas Eve before we went to bed.  This particular year my sister, brother, and I were somehow able to conjole our parents that night into letting us open all the gifts under the tree with the plea of "just one more!" after each gift we opened.  The next morning when I got up early, I went in the living room to play with my toys, and I discovered another gift for me near the fireplace.  It was a poster of Snoopy dancing with a bright pink background that my dad had put there after we had gone to bed.  I don't remember my other gifts from that year, but I still have that poster to this day.
