Christmas Memories

Sharing a special memory from Christmas 2013 spent at my brother Bob’s house.  Bob cooked the entire Christmas dinner on his own, and I was amazed at how great everything came out.  He prepared fresh ham with mushroom and onion gravy, mashed potatoes, veggies and candied sweet potatoes;  finished off with Amy’s homemade cookies, the most excellent cheese cake & coffee.  It was so delicious!  We ate until we could eat no more.  My son told him that this was the closest thing he had ever had to Christmas dinner at Grandma’s.  Bob considered that to be the greatest of compliments, since our mother’s cooking was considered legendary among all our family and friends.

   When dinner was finished we went into the living room where Bob would begin to show off all his newly acquired Christmas gifts.  Suddenly there is was under the Christmas tree.  ‘The greatest Christmas gift he had ever received’, ‘or would ever receive.’   The famed Daisy Red Rider BB Gun! (made famous by the popular movie “A Christmas Story”)   A movie that we loved, and would watch all day long on Christmas Day.

Included with this story is a photo of Bob proudly displaying his ‘oiled blue steel beauty.’   

Shortly after snapping this photo, Bob gathered up his target and we headed down the hall to try out this new blue steel icon.    Moments later Amy called out from the kitchen that “under no circumstances are we to shoot off that gun in the house”!   Never the less, who among us could resist the opportunity to fire off an Official Red Rider carbine action- two-hundred shot- range air rifle?  Not us!   The shots rang out, along with the laughter;  and before we knew it Amy was right there with us - pranging ducks on the wing and getting off spectacular hip shots!

This is the stuff the best memories are made of.   Thanks little brother!  Christmas will never be the same without you.

Love, Kim
