Christmas Memories

[mylittledemon]

Anyone want to share some cheesy memories? I'll go first, as my wife and I were just talking about this with my brother:

The one that sticks out the most for me was Christmas 1992. It was our first christmas living in east Tennessee. I was really into comic books at the time (I was 13 yrs old).

Superman had "died" just a few weeks before in the comic books, and they promoted his death with a black polybagged special issue. It had a bloody "S" shield on the front, I remember.

We opened all the presents that morning, and I was happy, and not expecting anything else. My dad said " Hey Brandon, run into my office, and look in the bottom desk drawer and get another blank tape for the video recorder "...and of course he had the comic lying in there! I was blown away and just genuinely surprised.

Evidently my brother and sister knew about it, as everyone was laughing as I had my "freak out" moment. Thinking about that makes me smile, and I know my old man had a hard time finding that issue for me. That memory means a lot to me, especially now since my father has passed away.
