Day 2- Favorite Holiday Memory
I have to say that one of my favorite memories when I was young was the Christmas play we used to put on in our neighbor's basement. Starting when I was 6, we put on a play of the Christmas story. And, this wasn't just a typical children's play. We had rehearsals, scenery, costumes, scripts, etc. The director was our neighbor and family friend, Rosalind.
It was such a fun time- we had grandparents, neighbors and even teachers come. The tickets were $1.01 and all the proceeds went to "the poor." Yes, I was the one who at 6 decided that "the poor" was charity. Oh dear.
One of my other favorite memories was when my brother, sister and I all got our first computer. I think I was in 4th or 5th grade so it was about 1989 or 1990. My uncles got it for us for Christmas and I remember being so excited to get it. Back when computer monitors were black with green writing. HA. But, I do remember playing Word and Number munchers, Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego.
Ha, I just remembered playing Oregon Trail on an ancient computer as a kid too! :)
ReplyDeleteCompletely unrelated, I am in L.O.V.E with the "I do" on the bottom of your wedding shoes!!!
I loved playing Oregon Trail!
ReplyDeleteI remember the same thing and playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Do you remember when the first CD-Roms came out? They were giving them away as prizes on Jeopardy and I remember wondering to myself how people were going to be able to see anything off of a CD-Rom.
ReplyDeleteHow ambitious to put on a play with the proceeds going to charity!
ReplyDeleteI remember playing some of those same games on our old computer too!
SO cute! I love that you had your own play! What a memory. Also, I remember getting our first family computer and it looked like a space ship and processed at snail speed. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust found you through the 11 in 2011 link, so glad I did!
Haha!! I remember those "speedy" computers :)
ReplyDeleteI was obsessed with Oregon Trail when I was younger :) Great memories!
