Do You Have A Magic Holiday Memory?

OK, this one won’t make anyone tear up - but for some crazy reason it’s one of my favorites… I was about five and Santa brought us an outdoor play item called a Whirly-gig. It had two seats at opposite ends of a long bar, kind of like a see-saw, but when you pumped the footrests and handlebars back and forth it twirled around instead of going up and down. Santa had even set it up in the family room so we could test it out. I was in heaven…round and round and faster and faster. And then you could let go of the handlebars and lean back and really feel like you were flying (until your sister made you help pump again). So yeah, one of my magical holiday memories involves vomiting shortly after breakfast.
