Christmas Memories from Childhood

Like most kids, I couldn’t wait to get up on Christmas morning. I would wake up early and eventually make enough noise to rouse my parents.

Living in Hawaii, we didn’t have a chimney. My parents bought a cardboard chimney covered with brick-design paper.

I enjoyed building model airplanes and collecting airplane parts. My favorite Christmas present of all time was a broken propeller from a Piper Cub airplane that my dad found. I kept that in my yard for years, and it was the hit of the neighborhood.
