Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Here is your assignment, should you decide to accept it (you ARE reading this, so I assume that you really want to play along - cue the Mission Impossible music!):
1)  Many of us believing in Santa Claus as children, having a Christmas tree, going to church, and visiting relatives and friends at Christmas time.

2)  Tell us your "best" Christmas memory - what Christmas holiday event is still vivid and real in your mind?

3)  Share it in a blog post of your own, in a Facebook post.  Please leave a comment here so we can all read about your memory

Here's mine:

I have many Christmas memories. On Christmas Day, when I was in 1st grade, I remember receiving my first Lego set. My love for LEGO grew from there. That same day, I got a baby doll. I was just beginning to learn how to change a diaper and to feed a baby. After there were no more diapers to use, my siblings and I would squeeze the baby bottle at each other, getting water all over us. Our mom took the bottles away and hid them. Eventually, one of us found it, and we played with it. The same thing happened again, and we couldn't find the bottles again.



Thanks for reading,
