Like something out of a "Christmas Carol" I have been thinking about past Christmases. The Puget Sound region has an unfortunate habit of raining on Christmas which I always hated when I was growing up in the town of Federal Way, Washington.
Snow usually came later in January. Ours was a middle class family. We were not rich, but I never went without anything growing up and there were always a few toys for Christmas. Around the holidays, I think about those times when the family was all together. Now my parents and most of the older relatives are gone.
There is a feeling of emptiness as I try to recall the memories of those years.
