Christmas Layers ...

My very good friend Tink has created a little Christmas meme and since it was Tink, I decided to play along. Of course this means that Tink is now the Queen of Memes, so be sure to tag her with all of your memes people! ;-)

1. What was the best present you've ever received? When I was in 3rd grade (I think) I got a really sweet bicycle. I think it was my first real cool bicycle too. Freedom baby! Of course there have been others through the years, but that was probably my first best present ever.

2. What was the worst? I don't think I've ever gotten a really shitty Christmas present or one that I just hated. I have, from time to time gotten some PJs that everyone knew I wouldn't wear, but that's okay. haha

3. What is something you really want this year for yourself? I really would love a new laptop, but that's not exactly reasonable. Otherwise I don't really want anything.

4. What is something you really want this year for someone else? Nothing that is affordable. haha

5. What's your favorite Christmas memory? Probably back when we were kids and we would have Christmas over at dad's house. Then over at Nana Creta's and then the three of us, my sister, mother and I, would have Christmas at home on Christmas Day. And on Christmas Eve mom would always read "The Littlest Angel" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to us and then we would sing Christmas Carols.
