Post a holiday memory you recall most vividly. Maybe it's the New Years when you realized there was no Y2K, or maybe it's the year the dog knocked down the Christmas tree. Whatever it is, share it with your friends. Merry Christmas/Happy Whatever December Holiday You Celebrate!

As embarrassing as it is for me to admit, my most vivid holiday memory is the year I got the back of an earring embedded in my ear *sweatdrop*. I was in the sixth grade and had gotten my ears pierced for my birthday earlier in the year, so I was still at that "wearing earrings to bed to keep the holes from closing" stage. Anyway, that year we were celebrating Christmas Eve over at my grandparents' (Mom's side) house. I was wearing a pair of post pearl earrings that had the longer, cylindrical backing. For some reason I decided to take them out. The left earring came out fine, but when I tried to take out the one in my right ear, the back of it wouldn't budge. Mom and my aunt spent fifteen to twenty minutes trying to get it out; apparently sleeping with that pair of earrings in my ears for several nights in a row pushed the back of the earring right into the skin of my earlobe. But they got it out, and I spent the rest of the night with a sore ear.

And of course, that was the year after the Christmas that my hair caught on fire.

Your hair caught on fire? Sounds like a holiday with my family.

Sounds more like a holiday with the Jacksons. :)

What about the Christmas where the whole gang went to Fozzie's mom's house, and Miss Piggy's limo got stuck in the snow...?
