Someone said that I should do a video talking about the difference between my Christmases as a child and my Christmases as an adult. That's what we'll be doing today, along with a bunch of pictures. I hope you enjoy it. :)

I love these videos showing a little insight into your life! Your boys look just like you as a child!

I’m only 19 and I lived such a similar childhood as you. I’m glad that you are a living example to prove that it is possible to make it out of that lifestyle on your own. I’m trying so hard. First in college and working for a better life.

Great video. Everything seems to get more elaborate as the years go on, like how in the 70s, a middle class family was “well off” if they could have steak once a month...now they take their family to Disney World every year. Same for Christmases, Halloweens, high school graduations, etc. I remember Christmases as a kid that seem really sparse by today’s standards, and honestly I’m in no better a financial situation as an adult than I was as a kid. I feel guilty as a parent if I don’t get my kids 7,8,9 great gifts, but when I was a kid I used to get only 2-3, and I know my grandparents didn’t get anything that didn’t fit into a stocking. Sometimes I wonder if we’re actually better off for it.

I don’t know you, Mary, but regardless to how you grew up, it seems to me that you’ve grown into a wonderful lady. You bring people a lot of joy, Obviously.

You’re an inspiration!!! You’re honestly the most interesting person I’ve ever met (well not met but yeah). I could go on for hours just listening to you tell stories.

My mother in law (who is Jewish) told me about the first time she put up a Xmas tree and left the string of lights on on the floor and burnt a bunch of holes in the carpet! 😂

You remind me of Phoebe from Friends!

I was the same way as a child in the 80's...I always looked thru the TV GUIDE and plan out what I would watch for the hoildays...you mentioned several things that took me back as well! Wow! Good times!

@lisaberg1853 5 years ago

Happy, sad, joyful, angry, delighted, tearful.....so many emotions. Reminds me so much of my childhood. From trailer life to no pictures to Christmas magic and the smell of a Christmas tree. Thank you for making me remember.

Kinda wish you were my mom. Your boys are lucky they have the coolest mom ever!

Her vids are so good for depression because it is just like simple peaceful pleasure, and it makes you wanna live till you are older just so you can be with it

@shannonfeaver452 5 years ago (edited)

I'm the youngest and the only one left at home now, my mum and stepdad aren't Christmas fans, not even growing up, so it's all down to me to do the decorating and such. I would love to spend Christmas with someone who has the same enthusiasm for it as me. Nevertheless, I don't let their lack of holiday spirit put me down! I also love Christmas time because I have fond memories with pantomime shows coming to my school as a kid and then performing my first pantomime in college (UK) to all the kids, to see their eyes light up just took me back to that childish wonder that I felt when I was their age and I watched the pantomimes.

Mary, you broke the cycle. It’s lovely to now know why you make Christmas such a special time for yourself, your children and others. Merry Christmas! 🎄
