Similar sentiments as yours in the way I have no certain best days but days that lead up to a best day, life in general.<br />I think a day earning money when I was 13 to go buy a pair of boots, and saving up to buy gifts for family also was pretty best, love your dad story, and like your family we to cut back in areas to make holidays special.... My mom at the sewing machine sewing up rag dolls, my dad cutting wood making stick ponies for the boys and doll house for us girls. Simple gifting built and made by hand were I think the best days.<br />Your story put things really in perspective to what best days are like.<br /><br />Thank you beautiful for sharing and allowing us to share, and more thank you for visiting me adding joy to my best days with a beautiful comment left from you.<br /><br />Xoxo<br />Joy to your holidays.<br /><br />DoreBurlap Luxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16134718817693134037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566466519387927581.post-61810707365779485202014-11-14T17:04:14.616+00:002014-11-14T17:04:14.616+00:00Seems as if we all had similar Christmases Gigi, w...Seems as if we all had similar Christmases Gigi, whichever side of the pond we live on !! …. and, my skates were the best thing that I owned … I loved them and was out on them every minute possible !!

And I feel lucky to have grown up in a time when the gift part of Christmas was much simpler. Like you, I always received my one special present, and then lots of magical little gifts in my stocking. My candy equivalent to your chocolates was the Lifesavers Sweet Storybook, shaped like a book and full of rolls of lots of different flavors of Lifesaver candies. I can still taste the butter rum. :) And I owned those same exact kinds of roller skates! They were fantastic. Thanks for sharing these wonderful Christmas memories! xoxo Gigi PS I love the photos of you!!!Gigi Thibodeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15326335927273800932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566466519387927581.post-77282977942408813422014-11-13T19:19:31.624+00:002014-11-13T19:19:31.624+00:00Hi Rachel ……. us bloggers of a certain age seem to...Hi Rachel ……. us bloggers of a certain age seem to have all had very similar Chrismases and have the same or similar happy memories.

I loved it all and it was so like my Christmases and my school days, except for the swimming which I didn't do. And a bit like Cro said, and I feel all far away and dreamy now. As you say, we didn't have much money but there was plenty of magic and little things meant a lot. It is something you never forget. xxxxRachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566466519387927581.post-57082783271105701122014-11-12T19:36:15.184+00:002014-11-12T19:36:15.184+00:00Dear Pamela,
