All the elders of the family coming together and celebrating Christmas. My parents, grand parents, aunts and uncles are all gone now.
I think I'm the oldest of the clan now. Just doesn't seem the same as it did "back then."

Yep. Dreading the one hour in church playing in the Christmas play, but anticipating what came right after. Walking down the stage and each kid getting his bag of old stale peanuts was the sign that you had survived another year as playing one of the wisemen. Then it’s hom, party, presants and up all night. My kids are older now, but I bought them all the stuff I never got, big die cast tractors, huge Lego sets, mini quads…..they’re really gifts for me too.
I don’t miss this cause I watch it every year….

Mom's cooking. Especially all the home made candies she use to make. She's still with us but no longer able to do the things she used to.

Agree with others - deceased family members and just sitting around talking with them. No cell phones to get in the way of interacting with real people. The food made by the old generation from scratch with love.

Fond memories of playing with all the relatives and neighbors until your face hurt from being cold and then coming in sitting around a blazing fire drinking hot chocolate.

We will miss our youngest daughter and her family for the 3rd year in a row not coming over on Christmas day.
They decided to stay home by themselves again. This year is a little tougher, they told their little boys there is no Santa Claus. 2 and 5 years old
