On Christmas Eve of 1993 I was stationed at Fort Carson. We got released for the day at noon.

It was the closest I had been to home for Christmas in 6 years so I decided to drive home to Omaha for the holiday.

I remember gassing up in North Platte Nebraska around 6PM and it was frigid, freezing cold. I was in a 1991 Geo Storm. I had the Heat going full blast and the inside of my windshield was frosting up.

I don't recall seeing another vehicle or maybe a couple of big rigs on the interstate between North Platte and Lincoln.

At some point the RKO Radio Theater the air version of A Christmas Carol came on the radio. I don't remember what radio station it was on but I seem to remember it fading out and then I'd pick it up on the next station and then that station would fade out and I'd pick it up on the next one.

Anyway listening to that became a tradition for me. When I worked Christmas Eve as a Security Guard I read the book.

When my mom died we inherited this Christmas tree. My grandmother made it before I was born.

That's the only Christmas tree we use every year and we usually turn it on Thanksgiving night.

and listen to Kenny G's Christmas album. Also inherited from Mom.

On New Year's Eve we listen again. Then on New Year's Day we pack it all up again for the year.
 
My grinch was just meant as a joke, Christmas has always been sad time for me, my mom passed away just before Christmas 1989, but I still celebrate it, like I said meme was just a joke, you guys take everything I post as a serious thing, no matter if I reply or post a meme, I got ticked at @Old_Me for a comment/joke he made until I realized I was doing the same thing as other on here concerning posts… jumping to conclusions……no more…..
@Annihilator i don’t take anything you post seriously. 😮
 
IIRC, the old Church calendar had Christmas in April. Some Pope changed it to December so it didn’t interfere with the planting time.

So you are upset with the commercialization of Christmas? So am I, as well as Easter, Valentines Day, Holloween, et. al. I just got ignore the sales pitch, go to church and remember the reason and idea for the Day. You want to know what gets my goat? Veterans Day sales for non-vets. But just wait until the Muslim holidays become accepted.
The first time I hear the call to prayer basting in my neighborhood, I'm gonna lose my :poop:!
 
"There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say... Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time... And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!"
