Saturday Night Genealogy Fun- Tell Us Your Best Christmas Memory

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,

Intentions & Reflections

Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
