OK, this is the best I can do for now but it's a favorite pic of mine. Christmas 1982 at my sister's house and I am getting ready to go to Oingo Boingo. LOL My nephew is 18 months but FASCINATED with Aunt Candi's radio station gig . . . "RECORDS!" He 'officially' works in IT but is one of the best club DJs I have ever seen and heard. It's genetic!

Thanks to Kathy for sharing your post! I'm at my daughters, so not in AZ. I'll scrounge for something. Not sure I have ANYTHING from Christmas as it was always quite hectic at Christmas with 6 kiddos, 4 of which were boys. I have a vivid memory but no photos of it. Love your photo - that's a great shot!

Dec 26, 2018 08:47 AM

Hi Jan Green , I think I am going to have to call this 'contest' a bust as either A. Too many of us have too little left to post B. It was a bad time to get this going. The memories are what is important! Thank you.

Very cute. Now you have me thinking as I don't have one photograph from any holiday. Birthdays were the thing in our home for lots of photos. As an adult, I take all the photos.

Janice Zaltman Realtor, LEED AP Hi Janice, I think we all have lost or stashed photos like these in boxes hidden deep in our garages. So, fret not!! Keep tuned. Thanks for responding.
