xx75.jpgLike most events from 1975, there is very little information, photos, or memories of this, my fifth Christmas on Earth. There are a couple of spectacular shots taken in our living room of my Mom and me basking in the afterglow of the gift-opening ritual. Other than that, I have relied on Bill and Dottie for the few snapshots taken on Christmas Eve at Arline and Carl’s. The rest requires mostly speculation.

I’m sure I had plenty to be upset about on Christmas Eve. Arline looks on as my parents have second thoughts about having children.

Following our morning as a family trio opening gifts, I have no doubt that we spent ithe rest of it with my Mom’s family at their house on Kruss in Kettering.

  1. I used to have Superfection too. In fact, I wish I still did!

  2. I think you are right on the year, because, I believe that blouse that I had on was a maternity blouse and, since Denise was born in April, that makes perfect sense.

  3. It’s actually the ‘toybox’ memory that I question the year of. The photos are all definitely from Christmas 1975.

  4. I have Superfection! Wanna play?

  5. Unfortunately, I don’t even remember the toybox full of toys – so really can’t help you out on that one! Though it does sound like something I would do.
