Christmas memory
When I was 9 I was very sick with the measles on Christmas Day. I spent all day lying down on an uncles bed at my grandparents house. I could only eat a small amount of jelly and ice cream, no other Christmas goodies for me. I had a small fizzy drink, then water for the rest of the day. I had grandparents, uncles, aunts, parents some siblings and cousins all coming and checking I was ok, did I need anything etc. and spending some time with me. Even though I was very sick it was a special Christmas Day for me and one that I hold dear, as most of the people who were there are no longer alive. My grandma did up a package of goodies and sent home with me for when I was better, which I got to enjoy a few days later.
