Rev Kev's Childhood CHRISTMAS

I would like to start this blog out with a little comparison of Rev Kev's childhood and my (Mama D) childhood. I'm going to use a couple of TV shows that if you've seen them will give an idea in your mind of our childhoods. Are you ready for it? Picture The Walton's and Leave it to Beaver. These shows are probably before your time but I think they still come on as reruns.

Kev was adopted. He was born in October but he was brought home on December 13, 1957. His mom told me they wrapped him in a blanket and laid him under the tree. She said he was the only thing under the tree because they didn't have anything left after getting him.

Kev grew up in California, in an area called Moraga. He grew up in a family with his mom, dad and a sister. His grandparents would come to his home for  Christmas. His mom would cook a great meal. They had a white tree with blue garland and blue Christmas balls. I think this is why he likes themed trees. All the gifts were wrapped even the ones from Santa. They were also allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve.

One of the stories Kev has told me is about a Christmas Eve. The gifts were wrapped but there was one that was obviously larger than the others. Of course, that was the gift they chose to open. He excitedly opened the present only to find other presents, WRAPPED. ugh

Have a Blessed Day,
Mama D
