Christmas Memories

My brother Fred and I were sharing some things of what we got each other for Christmas one year. At least it started off that way. We must've been about 10 or 11 years old. It was a couple of days before Christmas. My brother went into great detail of describing the 'Million Dollar Bionic Man' that he bought earlier that week with my Mom. Thinking about this story makes me feel bad still because he was descibing it for about 10 minutes. I said it sounded great and that I could hardly wait to open it! When he asked me what I got him I just replied to him by saying
"You have to wait until Christmas"! He was quite angry and I don't blame him...
Some other memories are the Christmas that Mom and Dad bought the new Commodore 64, and the one where I got my first video game and the one when I got Toronto Maple Leaf pajamas and Fred got the Montreal Canadiens pair.

One thing I remember quite well was a storm we had one year during our winter vacation. I'm not sure where this was exactly but I am pretty sure this was taken of me standing in the middle of the street. That was probably one of the largest snowfalls and I think it was around 1975 in December. My brother and I would build tunnels in the backyard and play there for hours. Memories come and go but I will never forget the amount of snow we got that year and the Christmas when I deceived my brother. Hopefully he can have a good laugh about it now...
