Christmas Memories

"What do you want for Christmas?

Bridger: "I want a sled, and a scooter, a train to go around the Christmas tree, and a bow and arrow."

Myra: "bubblegum. Just bubblegum."

What did you get for Christmas?

Bridger: "A sled. And an orange. I didn't even ask for an orange, Santa Clause just brought it for me and I didn't even ask. He thought I'd want it. But I did ask for the sled."

Myra: "bubblegum".

Christmas plans:

Bridger: "I am going to stay up on the couch and have cookies on Santa's lap."

... "Mom, Santa is taking so long! When is he going to be here?"

... "He's just taking so long! Maybe he's not coming."

Mom: "You've been a good boy this year, so I'm sure he'll come."

Bridger: "No I haven't. I didn't put the forks on the table and I knew it! So he probably won't come."

Mom: "Well, you've been trying to be good. Everyone makes mistakes and Santa knows that."

Bridger: "No, moms and dads don't make mistakes..."
...  "So he'll probably still come, but he won't bring me any presents."

(He was getting so tired!)

Christmas morning:

Mom: "Did Santa come last night?"

Bridger: "YES! And he brought me a SNOWMOBILE!"

Myra: "Oh! I've got lots of presents! I don't... need... more."
... "Oh! I've got lots of presents! I don't... need... more."
(she repeated the phrase several times, yet she plowed through her presents the fastest).

Our home video, for anyone who wished they could have shared in our Christmas morning happiness ;-)

With all his stocking presents lined up in a row.

Looking back on our Christmas videos and pictures Bridger said, 

"That was the happiest Christmas!"
