Students Share Their Best
and Worst Christmas Memories “My worst Christmas
memory was last year because I was really sick. At my family Christmas
party, all I could eat was mashed potatoes which I ended up losing
at two in the morning.” “My best Christmas memory was when Santa came to my house. Even though it was really my dad’s friend, I believed it because I was five.”-Deanna Hann “My worst Christmas memory was when I was four years old, and all I wanted for Christmas was a pink tutu so that I could be a ballerina. But instead of the tutu, I got purple pants and a reindeer sweater. I told my mom that Santa must have forgotten that all I wanted was a tutu, and my mom replied, “Oh, but there is probably a little girl on the other side of town opening a pink tutu and saying that all she really wanted was purple pants and a reindeer sweater.” I think that is the meanest thing you can say to a child.”-Mrs. Lile-Taylor “One night I woke up early, and I walked out to the living room to see if Santa was there. I saw my dad with the gifts, and that’s when I realized Santa did not exist.”-Caroline Evans “I was living in an apartment and my brother and I didn’t expect to get any presents because there was no chimney in the apartment, but lo and behold, there was my brother’s Sega Genesis and my Secret Sender sitting by our stockings that were hanging on the TV set.” –Meryl Fulinara “One Christmas when I was young, my parents saved the best present for last, but it wasn’t under the tree. They hid it somewhere in the house and made me do a scavenger hunt to find it. It was really fun.”-Brian Elwell “Every Christmas stands out as a great day of the year to me, but last Christmas stood out among the Christmases. My sister wrote me a 35-page story about our imaginary characters on an adventure. It was the best Christmas gift I have received in a long time”-Blake Anderson “My dad got all the tags mixed up on the gifts, so I opened all my sisters gifts and she opened all of mine.” –Ryan Eshoff “My mom put my little brother’s name on all of my presents and vice versa. It was chaos. I was opening all of my brother’s presents.”-Eric Chase “When I was 5, there was a cute white
bear I wanted with a bunch of little cute clothes that went with
it. I thought I had no chance of getting it, but I did. Best of
all, I got it before Christmas, but my mom told me not to tell
anyone.” “We spent Christmas in Hawaii, which
was a change of pace. It was beautiful. Instead of hot chocolate
and gingerbread we enjoyed virgin margaritas and pineapple.” “In Hawaii, I cut my foot on coral and had to get stitches. I ended up spending my whole Hawaii Christmas vacation on crutches or laying in bed.”-Peter Hubbard “My cat got in a huge cat fight on
Christmas Eve, and he finally came home early in the morning on
Christmas. He was all beaten up, so we took him to the vet, but
it was closed. He was really sad, so I was sad for him.” “My worst Christmas was when we moved
into our new house because I had Jack in the Box for Christmas
Eve dinner, and I had to sleep on the floor.” |
