We do an Advent calendar every year. It's one of the things that my children look forward to the most. With the Advent chocolate every night, we share a Christmas memory.
This year's favorite was a silly one -- the year that my Nana gave me a watch and the alarm kept going off every night at 10:30 while it was wrapped and under the tree. They asked me to retell it several times. It's a silly little thing, but I remember it well, and my children obviously loved hearing the story.
It always amazes me what we remember and how that remembering can resonate with others. I wonder what my children will remember about their Christmases.

There is a story that Susan Outlaw tells about her family, and though I've never met her parents, etc., I love to get her to tell the story.
I can remember we placed the tree in the same spot every year. Always a fake tree, never real. Colored lights.
