1. What was your best Christmas memory?<\/strong>
\nMost of my Christmas memories are pretty great – but one I remember was as a child when Dad was trying to drive the family to Grand Junction in a blizzard. We pulled over and turned around before we got to Meeker. We ended up having Christams dinner gleaned from items bought at the Circle K. Good times. <\/p>\n

2. What was your worst Christmas memory?<\/strong>
\nI had a really sad Christmas one year while in the Army. I was stationed in Germany and very homesick and spent the day in the dorms. <\/p>\n

3. Do you have a “Christmas Story” moment – a great Christmas story that evokes tears of laughter and many, many re-tellings?<\/strong>
\nMy Grandmother had a knack for very odd Christmas present giving. We still joke about a set of underwear she gave. She went on and on about them, explaining that Grandpa loved his and did her brother, whom she also gave a set to. “These are just any underwear,” became the family joking catch phrase for many years. <\/p>\n

4. Did you ever get an inappropriate Christmas present? (think Grandma or maybe some well intentioned co worker for inspiration.)<\/strong>
\nMom gave me a complete set of Allen wrenches one year – it was kind of odd. I gave, at a Festivus white elephant auction, a used gay port video tape that I bought at a used bookstore (just for this event, if you need to know all the details.). If that ain’t inappropriate gift giving, I don’t know what is. <\/p>\n

5. Did you ever get an ugly Christmas sweater or something similar as a gift? <\/strong>
\nI used to get a sweater from the parents every year for Christmas. I remember one year not getting one and actually being a bit upset. Some of them were pretty “ugly” but for the most part they were pretty stylish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
