Couple more Christmas stories...
Once when we were kids, we woke up Christmas morning to find 2 strings beside our bed. We followed those strings around the whole house! Under couches, under beds, through the backyard, under bushes, around trees, back into the house, down the hall, under doors, when we finally made it to the end.. there were 2 nice presents! I think I got a stereo and my sister got a bike or vice versa...can't remember. But I remember following that string around the house!
When we lived in Colorado one Christmas, my parents mailed the kid's gifts up to us. We stuck them under the tree and waited for Christmas. Larry came home that week and said, I have good news and I have bad news. What you want first? Me-bad news of course. He said, I lost my job! Yikes! What's the good news (he's a glass full kinda guy) We get to go to Texas for Christmas!
So we packed up the car, and the unopened gifts that my parents had sent and made the 14+ hour drive down to Dallas for Christmas. While we were here, we got to talking about what to do next since Larry was out of a job. We decided, hey let's just move back to Texas! We talked about it all the way home (put the presents that my parents had sent back in the car!) By the time we got back to Colorado, we had decided! Yes we'd move back!
FIVE days later we were packed up in a moving truck (along with those presents! which at this point had gone from Texas to Colorado to Texas to Colorado and now back to Texas) and off we went!
It was the year of Y2K so, we waited till that morning to see if the world had ended and since it didn't, we drove down to Texas. :)
