This time of year ...

  Now that I have children, I can't help but think of the Christmas memories from my childhood. Here are some of my favorites ...

Listening to Mom's Christmas records - Johnny Mathis, Henry Mancini and Glen Campbell

The live nativity scene at our church. I was almost always an angel and sometimes a shepherd.

Taking a trip to downtown Cincinnati to look at the lights at fountain square, visit Santa's workshop, and watch the train display at the Omni Hotel.

Watching White Christmas with my Mom and wishing that I could dance.

Falling asleep on the couch in front of the lit tree on Christmas Eve.
