here is my story of my most cherished holiday memory. My cousin Carole and Muriel and myself, Mary, were put to bed Christmas Eve early. Our ages at that time were 3, 4, and 5, I was the oldest and Muriel was the youngest, We all slept in the same bed upstairs in the alcove. We noticed downstairs the Dining Room door was open. While our parents were decorating the tree we all sneaked out of bed and sat on the top of the stairs to watch our parents decorating the Christmas tree. Our parents never found out about the great time we had. We all kept it as a secret. Our ages now are 78, 79 and 80.   Submitted By: NULL
