[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 and starting to do this.

I hated growing up on a farm, for the most part, but our big Christmas and Thanksgivings really were the best.  We had a big old farm house so it was the place where out of state family would come, with room for everyone.  I would "camp" on the pullout couch with my girl cousins in the living room with the lit Christmas tree, and we would watch Disney movies and play with our new toys.  We would skate on the pond and decorate our (real) ponies for the holiday, with a pony parade, and make snowmen, etc.  There were so many presents, and the house was magical when decorated with pine boughs and lights, etc.  Looking back, I am shocked at just how many family members came: not just aunts and uncles, but great aunts and grandparents, etc.  The house guests would stay for up to a week, and my mom and the aunts/grandmas would cook amazing pies and meals.  It was truly magical.

Honestly, it feels like another world.  I wish my ds could have had that.  [/quote]

Sounds so wonderful![/quote]
