  Memories. .. share the earliest or most favorite childhood memory

  by MissFit in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my daughter tells me that experts say children tend to have false memories.

  apparently their brain tends to fill things in that may not be totally accurate.. i refuse to believe that my favorite and comforting memory might not be true.

  so here is to fond memories real or not.. the earliest memory i have is being put in a crib at a preschool.

  The winter when I was four it snowed on Boxing Day. We ran outside so excited. It was so pretty but we didn't know it would stay for two months and the temperature drop to -19. Went to bed with socks and gloves on, with woolly sweaters over our pyjamas. There was ice on the inside of the windows, no central heating. Winter of 1962 / 1963 - the year the Thames froze over and even the sea for four miles.

   One day my dad took us to school and the snow was so deep we had to walk behind him stepping in his footprints. That was fun, I remember

So vital for me, can't spell for toffee. Love it when I put in a text type smile and it automatically inputs a smiley icon. Thanks Simon, hope you feel better soon, 'flu is horrible.

                               I honestly don't fit into any of these pigeon holes. No surprises there :) As a born-in I thought it made sense that there is a plan and someone is in charge. Without any knowledge of evolution except WTS half-truths why wouldn't I? When I was in my late twenties I decided I needed to read more. So I picked things that interested me, history, philosophy, Greek mythology. That was the beginning of the end for me,

  They came, they saw, they left...

  during the holiday period one if my wife's brothers had planned a vacation in our area.

  they drove about 6 hours to a condo they leased for a week to celebrate their wedding anniversary with their married son and daughter.

  they called my wife to let her know they were coming to visit us since they were 2 hours away.

  I feel sad for your wife NVR to be treated with such a lack of family affection but if it helps her escape then all to the good.

  i am perhaps a bit behind on this but i have just listened to " grandma got run over by a reindeer " sung by elmo and patsy .

  it got me to thinking about christmas songs in general ,so i thought a thread about people's favourite christmas songs would be good .

  please share your fave christmas music , a carol or something more modern .to start i will list my best carol as hark the herald and my best ever chart song as santa claus is coming to town by bruce springsteen .
