What is your funniest Christmas memory?

I was thinking about that Christmas classic movie ” A Christmas Story” where the young boy is obsessed with a Red Ryder B-B gun for Christmas…and all the strange and silly things that happen to him on the days before Christmas. It’s not the best movie, granted, but it does encapsulate a time in American history that pre-dates Ipods and Nintendo.

What is your funniest Christmas memory? Who was involved in it? Why has this stood out more than any other memory?

One of my funniest Christmas memories was when my two brothers and I dressed up as the Three Kings….except that I looked like a King and they looked like Queens (in drag). We scrounged around in my parent’s closets and just put on whatever we could find and my brother put on my pink tutu from dance school. We marched into our parents living room…singing ” We Three Kings”. We were in our teens. The funniest part is that my middle brother is usually really staid and quiet and so seeing him participate really cracked us up. He wore some pink tissue paper on his head anchored with a headband….and it stuck straight out from his ears! I guess you had to be there…..

Your turn.
