Things I did that my kids won't -
Slathered this strong-scented stuff on sunburnt skin
Ate these during homeroom because they made me look cool
Picked up pictures from the drug store and had no idea what they were
Pushed my tray through the line at Ponderosa, hoping and praying they had chocolate pudding
Watched the news being reported without any bias or agenda
And waited all year for my favorite Christmas shows, and appreciated every single minute
That's it for today, my friends! Except I am curious if you can name any of these favorite Christmas shows??

Google for the fun.
I remember when those Christmas specials would be on, you were glued to that tv, and all of your friends were watching too. When I was having babies, we never paid to have the television in our room turned on, until our sixth child was born, on December 10th, 1992...because I knew one of those was going to be on, maybe Rudolph....I hadn't seen it in years! Ponderosa...yup, those crispy chicken wings. The kids loved the soft ice cream and cookies. The six o'clock news was sacred in our house, we didn't make a sound when daddy was watching it. :).
ReplyDeleteYes! I remember all the things you mentioned. Some make me sad that they aren't around any more. My sister and I were just talking about the Christmas specials and how we loved to watch them.
ReplyDeleteI do remember being so excited those specials were coming on, kids have no idea what suspense we lived in.
ReplyDeleteI remember all of these! I wonder if there are any Ponderosa's left? Seems like Golden Corral replaced them. We still use breakfast bars that are similar to these.
ReplyDeleteThe shows were familiar but wow, that was a long time ago!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember all of the shows! I remember drinking the Carnation instant breakfast drinks during high school.

I remember all of those things, and I really do miss watching the news. Nowadays, I can't stomach it.
