I have long known that memories are fallible. Very<\/em> fallible. If asked about my memories posted here, I’ve been clear that these are how I<\/em> remember things, and my two sisters may remember differently.<\/p>\n

Today I celebrated Christmas with those two sisters and their families. Alma, the eldest, had read my Christmas eve blog post and told me that I remembered Mom’s Christmas stocking wrong. “Yeah?” I said. “What do you think they were like?”<\/p>\n

Alma reached into her bag and said, “This.”
\n\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Trust me, Alma didn’t whip this stocking up. This is her original stocking. As soon as I saw it, I said, “Oh, yeah! I remember them now! They’re just like Mom’s napkins & table runner that I have!”
\n\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

But I would have sworn they were calico. Huh.<\/p>\n

Alma then said, “I don’t remember any toothbrushes, either.”<\/p>\n

Since she was clearly dead on with the stockings, I’m betting she’s right about the toothbrushes, too. I guess it was Peg\/Mom who came up with that particular utilitarian tradition. Go figure.<\/p>\n

We both agreed, however, that Judy was mistaken when, after NOT having read my earlier post, she told a story about how she<\/em> got this ballerina music box for Christmas and knocked it over and it started playing. That was MY music box. Both Alma & Judy assured me I would NOT have gone and woken up Mom, however, as that would have meant certain tongue lashing.<\/p>\n

So who knows how that scenario really ended?<\/p>\n

Your turn – Share one of your holiday memories, whether or not it’s family-tested.<\/strong><\/p>\n
