My best Christmas ever was the first time my parents came to visit our family for the holiday. My mother paid me the best compliment. She said she loved spending Christmas with my family because the celebration just went on and on. I posted about it here:

She especially loved the Joe Pie Day activities since they carried Christmas over into the next day for everyone. Even though I am one of four children, Mama and Daddy came mostly to our house after that and that made our celebrations always more special. Wonderful memories!
