"I have had many wonderful Christmases, especially when my children were young. There is too much emphasis on material things. Christmas is about family. I have five children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and we all get together. I bake a lot of cookies and cakes."

"My favorite Christmas memory is when I was about 5 or 6 years old. On Christmas Eve, I heard the floor squeaking, and I was sure it was Santa. I was going to peak but went right back to bed afraid he would see me."

-- Marcie, Scott and Jaylen Dierdorf


"My favorite Christmas was in 2004, the Christmas before my father died. He passed away the next year on Dec. 18. Christmas hasn't been the same since then."

My favorite memories of Christmas was Christmas' before my parents divorced when I was 10 then it was a busy Christmas day of opening presents at home then at my Mamk's and Grampy Tom's then going for the evening to my Mamaw's and Papaw's in Freedom which I done up until 2 years ago when there is no Mamaw or Papaw. So now it's just my house with only 1 child unless my sons come home from Iraq and Tx, then to Mamk's. But I remember the reason for the season is Jesus and that helps me out and I plan on helping a family with difficulty with Christmas as people used to help us when we had a bunch of kids at home.

There is nothing better than watching your children light up as they open gifts. This year will be a tough one.
