Christmas Memories
Do you have memories from when you were little? When I was younger, my mom was a single mom–and so there are some different memories than some of the kids my age would have had. I mean how many kids watch their mom’s getting ready for a date? She married again when I was 9, and we got a fabulous man to be our dad. He had a pretty high up job in his company, so there were many occasions when I would sit on my mom’s bed and watch her get ready.
She had a lot of pretty stuff…both to look at, and to smell! My favorite was her Oscar de la Renta perfume. Whenever it’s Christmas I try to find it again for her, that or Chanel #5! I’m not sure she has many places to wear that kind of thing now, but whenever I smell it, it takes me back to being 10 years old, sitting on her bed. And that is really nice!
