Hi everyone!
Hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas (or Hannukah or Kwanzaa!)
I'm just getting a little nostalgic here-what is a favorite holiday memory of yours? Mine is when I was in college and living in an apartment by myself for the first time. It was about 4-5 years after my transplant and I was savoring my independence!
I have always felt quite comfortable being alone with myself so I wasn't at all lonely. That Christmas I can remember walking to the store in the snow around dusk and the nice, cozy feeling I had of going back to "my place" and decorating it for Christmas...that year, I had an old raggedy tree (the kind covered in that white "styrofoam" stuff)! I couldn't even put lights on it because it was metal (and it had turned yellow with age! 
) I put a string of lights in my livingroom window and my tree on a table and stayed up late at night making candy for my family!The best part was that we had a blizzard and I was "snowed in" for a week or so!....I didn't have much at that time (still don't!
) but it was one of the best Christmases ever because I finally felt "normal", being on my own like that.What is your favorite holiday memory?
