A Fun Christmas Memory,
When I was in college, I would return to my folks house for Christmas. I had many things I could do with friends on Christmas eve, but one year my neighbor asked if I would babysit his kids while he and his wife went to a party. It wasn't my FIRST choice, but he was always good to me so I said sure. This became a 3 or 4 year tradition. He had one boy and two girls and I spent the first part of the night hanging out with them. Once they went off to bed, he always had a shitload of toys that needed to be assembled. I always had the best time sipping on a few beers....watching old holiday movies...and putting together bicycles, doll houses, and a host of other things.
Its funny how something I did NOT want to do became one of my best holiday memories.
