Christmas memories...

[Annie]

My option was learn to laugh or I suppose cry..

The trouble was if I cried my father would say, "Stop crying or I'll give you a Good reason to cry"..

Did we have the same dad?

Your Dads learned that from my Dad. He said it first...

My dad too! My mom's favorite of course, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out!" I think she meant it.

Maybe, back in the 50's and 60's, the hospitals gave out a book of threats when you got the birth certificates.

Here is my 67' nam Turkey dinner.

For Christmas we did a drive and had toys shipped to us from the states. We took these to the children in an orphanage near Saigon. Someone stole a pine tree from the Bear Cat PX and we decorated it with M-16 rounds hung by fishing line. I had been wounded twice by November, so was reassigned to base camp. Working with SServices, I got to help build the stage for the Bob Hope Christmas show. I had went AWOL down to Vung Tau for some R&R, by chopper, so when I returned they made me the majors jeep driver. In that capacity I got to pick Bob Hope up from the Ton Son Nhut airbase and bring him back to Bearcat. He gave me an unsigned picture. I mailed it to him about 10 years ago, and he signed it for me.

Lets see, stuck tinsel in the light socket and burned my fingers.

Made a girl snowman with tits.

Got a metal train and transformer.

USed to play Santa Claus every year and had my own suit.
