I can't pick just one memory to be my favorite. I just really miss every Christmas that my mom, dad and I were the cutest little family. This year will be the 5th Christmas without them together...dang haha. But it makes me really sad because Christmas was always awesome.
I used to loooove how festive my dad used to get with Christmas lights. Our house was the most popular on the block every year. We would always have people parked across the street just admiring the prettiness. We honestly would have hundreds of strands, thousands of lights. It would take him about a month to do and it was always perfect. I just remember the day he would start taking out the lights was so exciting to me. Now every time I see Christmas lights it makes me really sad..haha. My mom misses the lights too and of we're driving and see a house with lights we'll judge the crap out of it and then laugh at ourselves and I'm pretty sure its a way to cover our sadness. hahaha.
But Christmas was always the same. Christmas Eve night, the 3 of us would leave at about 7 o'clock and drive around for a few hours looking at Christmas lights. Then we'd get back around 9 and then open presents. There were always so many presents for all 3 of us... That also makes me miss going Christmas shopping for my mom with my dad, and for my dad with my mom. But then Christmas Day we would go to my moms side of the family's party thing and then my dads. We always went to both sides which was super cool.
The first couple of years of my parents being separated I would still do the Christmas Eve night with my mom and then Christmas breakfast with her and then go with my dad on Christmas afternoon-evening. But now my dad is in a weird funk and I've been spending Christmas alllll with my mommy and I'm fine with that. I just wish I could go back live those Christmas's again with the 3 of us together...
