Enjoyed your memory. I don’t remember any birthdays memories. Christmas was always stressful. We went to my mother’s family home. My dad left early Christmas Day yo go to his family. Mom and I never went.
I planned my first wedding on December 23, so I would not have to make choices.
I can relate to this. After my parents divorced Thanksgiving and Christmas were the most stressful times. I want both to be happy, but there was only so much I could control. One Thanksgiving we went away with friends and had the best time!
Do you remember snakin cakes? You mixed and bake them right in the same pan that came in the box.
Yes! We didn't have them at home because that would have been a luxury. But in college? If we had access to an oven we made them.
Love this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Gail. Another reader requested a childhood memory. I should ask my brother and sister what they remember about our birthday cakes. :)
