One of my earliest childhood memories was having to sit on the lap of a complete stranger when i was a toddler. He was chunky and wore big black boots with a scary looking white beard.
It took me years later to discover that he was 'Santa'.
So, what is your earliest childhood memory and how old were you?
Merry Christmas everyone! =)

My very fist memory was when I was 3 years old. It was of waking up screaming in the hospital. I don't remember a whole lot about it, just the screaming. I got ran over when I was three. Luckily, I don't remember the actual accident.

You got ran over?! And when you were three too... i think it's one of God's miracles that you are still alive=)

Wow! That truly IS a miracle indeed! You must've been so strong to have to endure that and never lost faith... that's why you managed to have 3 children!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! =)

I remember when I was younger I was afraid of my uncle. My uncle was 6 feet 6 inches and had a deep voice. Every time he came near me I would scream and cry. My aunt would give me a couple of chocolate chip cookies to calm me down.
I also remember helping my grandmother make cookies around Christmas time. She would put the ingredients into paper cups so I could pour them into a bowl.

In a child's eyes, a man who is probably three times your size can be seen as threatening...
Actually, even now, won't we feel a bit threatened if someone is much bigger and stronger than us comes up to us?
But it's so sweet how when you were younger, you got to spend time with your grandma, making cookies! I find that really lovely =)
Enjoy your XMAS

Hi
One of my earliest Chilhood memeories is rather a scary one.I had fallen into a pool.All I remember that I had bend down to look for something shining below and I lost my balance and had a splash.
Luckily,there were people there so they helped me out.But I still remember water gushing in my nose and ears.
I must have been 4 or 5 years old but this memeory is still very fresh.

Oh gee... i can imagine that being extremely scary! Having a memory like that can easily develop a fear of water so may i ask, are you able to enter the pool now without being scared?
