MY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS

(by Maryjane)

Time to talk about some super parents and the year they made a mistake by calling my kids to get some ideas as to what to get me for a Christmas gift. Now you have to set this up in your mind. Here are two kids on the phone a tough question has just been asked, so they both consult and decide that Mom needs a car.

Yes that's what they told the parent. Well being very understanding my son was told that is not quite what we had in mind, is there a few more ideas you can give me? OK time to talk it over and consult with your sister again. Mom has always wanted one of those cameras that show you the pictures right away. And she needs new glasses because we keep breaking the ones we have.

Well it was quite a surprise because I never expected such an expensive gift. All the parents chipped in and purchased a Polaroidã One Stepã with a flash attachment, film, everything I needed to take pictures right away.

Maybe this wouldn't be so exciting to most, but being the emotional type that I am it meant the world to me. It has been at least 15 years ago now and I still have the camera. I don't use it as much but I will never part with the camera or the memory of that wonderful year and the sweet thoughtful parents.

By the way I did also get a car that year. Yes from the same parents that gave me the camera. They gave me a red Rolls Royceã . After I unwrapped the camera, the flash, the film and even the batteries at the bottom was one last package my red car the MatchBoxä version. And along with the camera it's something I've never been able to part with.

This page is dedicated to those of you who made my driving experiences most memorable.

Love to you all,
