This past weekend, our family gathered together to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Just like many of you, we had a houseful of guests that ranged in ages from 2 years all the way up to 95. It was a noisy atmosphere filled with lots of laughter and stories but Grandma and I still took a few minutes to sneak into the living room and do another video interview. I love hearing her talk about her memories of the holiday season.

Holiday Memories with Grandma

Recording these memories from my grandmother’s generation is important to me and my family. I have recorded her talking about quilts and travel and can’t wait till our next visit. What do you think we should talk about next?

A few years ago for one of Grandma’s birthday parties, some of my family members took a bunch of slides that Grandma had in her closet and put them on the computer so we could all enjoy them. I took a few minutes to look through them and found some of these photos of Grandma enjoying the Christmas season with her family.

What Christmas memories do you share with your grandparents? I’d love to hear!
