My Favorite Christmas Memory

My grandparents on both sides were depression era people. One of my mom's more vivid christmas time memories was her sneaking a stick of gum out of grandpa's desk and getting the daylights beat out of her at the age of 5. Don't think she ever got over that one. Scarred the woman for life imho.

One of my kids most vivid christmas memories was taking them to Disneyland many years ago. It was a big family trip. And they remember little of Disneyland. We went to Tiajuana from San Diego a day or 2 b4. Gave my kids plenty of coins and directed them to give them to the begging women. They'll never ever forget putting a few coins in the cups of adult women totting their babies, dressed in rags and begging/pleading on the street for money, literally on their knees before my children. They were stunned by the experience of seeing poverty.

That's what they remember Christmas to really be about. So do I.

That is such an awesome life lesson, brother.

My daughter has a fatal disease because of a transfusion in the Eighties that has already killed her husband and my MS is in it's final stage so my wife, Barb and I did only for people under 18 this year except for Fruit Cake they ordered for me. My grandchildren were all here and we had a very, very, good Christmas. I don't know yet but this could be a good year to go to Heaven and for that I am excited. That would, liikely put me there to greet my wife, kids and grandkids.

Praying that God also blesses you and yours.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, and you.
We all are not promised tomorrow, some sooner than others, glad you look forward to leave this old flesh, present with the Lord.
Brother, be glad to meet you on the other side.
When I buried my Mom, I just try to remember that verse in Ecc.7:1,
A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Blessings upon you and yours.
 
I guess the most memorable Christmas I had, was the one when my wife bought me a 5.5" stainless steel Ruger 44 mag.

I wanted that ruger 44 soo much, and we couldn't afford it, but she was able to locate a used one for 285!

Very cool.

Thank you for the blessing and it will be a joy to meet you in person and to introduce you to my Deeter. May God bless you and yours as much as He has me and mine.

Forty-four caliber with lead bullet packs a mean wallop. If you keep it in the house for protection I have one suggestion. Buy some Wad Cutters for it and in the house keep it loaded with them. If you fire at an intruder and miss, when it hits a wall it will mushroom and you will not kill a neighbor.

Your wife loves you a lot, be sure you protect the lady.

We must think alike Brother. A180 gr full wadcutter loaded light (for 44 mag lol) is my preferred house load for it.

LOL! Hit him in the shoulder and he spins like an old wood top on his way to the floor, yep, we think alike and it will not kill the neighbor's kid laying in her bed, asleep. My .38 only carries a 151 grain and spins a man like a top.

Yep, a 38 will do just fine and has many times before. I reload for it that too.

Ypu wouldnt think so, but the .223 for the AR15 is actually pretty darn neighbrohood safe from over-penetration & its dangers too. The little 55 grain bullet it shoots, fragments a lot going through building materials. Testing showed the 223 to be safer than 12 ga buckshot or slugs.
