Remembering Christmas Past

I think the holidays often make us nostalgic for those lovely memories of family gatherings, Santa, and the Christmases of long ago.  When we remember those Christmas Past it is through rose colored glasses forgetting the insanity of trying to shop with cranky kids or burnt Christmas pies and all the other mini holiday disasters.  In fact often those mini disasters are fondly recalled around the Christmas dinner table with laughter and merriment.

A mix of my favorite Christmas postcards and Christmas photos.  Good memories:
