[Blindtlk] early Christmas memories.

[Judy Jones]

Greetings to all,

I think Ray had a good idea in mentioning an Christmas memory.  It would be interesting to hear people's earliest Christmas memories.

Mine was when I was five.  We were living in Turkey, as my dad was over there with NATO forces.  There was a party at the officers' club for all the little kids one afternoon.  We waited outside the club, and Father Noelle, came riding in on a camel.  He dismounted and gave out candy and small gifts.  I remember my parents letting me talk to him and remember the feel of the long robe he wore.

When all was done, he mounted his camel, and off he rode.

I don't know how much of this is actual Turkish variant on a Christmas theme, but has always stayed with me.
