I have wonderful Christmas memories and not just from childhood or related to my small town. One of the best is from 1985, when I was a few years out of college and still in graduate school. As I passed out presents on Christmas morning (that has been my job since I was about 12), my father told me that one box with my name on it had to wait to last. When the time came for me to open it, everyone stopped what they were doing to watch. When I opened it and saw what it was tears started to fill my eyes - there was a quilt inside! A wonderful quilt made of stuffed squares by my 17 year old little sister. She had had a tough year, and to make matters worse had not been able to find a summer job; so, to fill her time she and my father had gone shopping to get what she needed to make me this quilt. It has kept me very warm through some very cold winters. Ron Bedard from Goffstown, New Hampshire.
