All right, I've been trying to come up with something, and while I haven't come up w/ a specific one yet, one thing I've always enjoyed is playing with, and when I got older, getting to set out my grandmother's manger scene (and other decorations). And the past couple of years it's been my "job" to put up and decorate her tree.
Yours is a *fantastic* memory. I'd love to do that if it weren't for the fact I couldn't carry a tune to save my life.
It took me a while to really pinpoint mine down too. I think my favorite memory, or Christmas thing to do, is decorating the tree. When I lived at home, it was a full day event. We would go get the tree (usually cut it down ourselves), bring it home, set it up, turn on the Christmas music and decorate the tree and the rest of the house. It really made it feel like Christmas was finally here. And all of our ornaments had special memeories attached to them. Mom and Dad still have the ones made from mason jar lids that they used the first year they were married. And then there's the egg that was made for me when I was born and the hilarious picture of James screaming at Santa Claus. :-) What a fun post!
