CHRISTMAS EVE, 1959

WE ALWAYS GOT GOT GIFTS XMAS MORNING, BUT THIS WAS A MEMORABLE YEAR. THAT IS MY VERY FIRST BICYCLE. AND YES, IT'S A GIRL'S AND SHUT UP. WHO KNEW THAT WE REALLY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO GET GIFTS? IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS AN ADULT THAT I LEARNED THE REASON WHY WE GOT OUR GIFTS XMAS MORNING. SEEMS MOM GOT PREGNANT WAY BACK WHEN AND THE FOLKS HAD TO GET MARRIED. THEY WED DECEMBER 24th, BUT THEIR ANNIVERSARY WAS ALWAYS CELEBRATED SEPTEMBER 24th.  SO, IT WAS A CELEBRATION, THEIR SECRET CELEBRATION, BUT ALL WE KNEW WAS IT'S CHRISTMAS. WELL, OUR KIND OF XMAS, THE KIND WITH MENORAHS SCATTERED ABOUT AND STOCKINGS THAT WERE PALE BLUE & WHITE WITH WHITE JEWISH STARS.

OH, THAT PARKING GARAGE? IT HAD A SHORT LIFE. WE ALL DID SOMETHING TO UPSET MUM AND SHE THREW IT DOWN THE CELLAR STAIRS.
