  The urlLink Friday Five is back online! What holiday or holidays do you celebrate this time of year? Christmas. What was the best gift you have ever received? A bike. I was about 10.
There's a polariod of me somewhere standing there with my mouth hanging open. I loved that bike. It's still in mom's garage. What was the worst gift you've ever given? A hairbrush to my mom. I was younger, still unable to shop by myself.
She wanted a new one and I asked my Aunt Verna (she was my Godmother, but that's what I called her) to buy one for me. I carefully explained what she wanted and gave her some money, but she got the wrong one. I can still see the disappointment on my mom's face that year. I hope I've made up for it since then. Where will you be celebrating the holidays? Are you hosting?
Going away? We will do Christmas at my house. Me, mom, my Godparents, their two sons and a daughter-in-law. Other friends have promised to stop by later in the afternoon. If you could spend the holidays with someone who isn't around, who would it be with? Why?
Aunt Patsy and Uncle Fagen. Karla. And I'm sure there's at least one other ... ; )
