memories

Over the last week or so, I shared some of my favorite Chirstmas Memories. In case you missed one, or you just want to read them again, here they all are for you! Merry Christmas!

Last night, after leaving the studio in Mandan, I headed toward my house in Bismarck. This was the first year that I haven't been under some obscene deadline to get things done before I had to be at someone's house for dinner. When I first accepted the position her at Hot, I really was looking forward to bringing my family out here...

See the old man in the back? That's Papa. Even though he is the old man of the family, he's the biggest kid of them all. Every Christmas Eve, after coming back from whatever family member's house we were at for dinner, he would always tell us the same thing...

Meet Amber, our oldest daughter (she's really my step-daughter, but I've raised her since she was 7, so I leave out the step part). The very first Christmas we were together, Amber ran around all day with a bow off one of her presents all day...

Split Christmases are nothing new to me. My parents divorced when I was very young, so I always had 2 Christmases. One with Mother, and one with Father.

Music is truly the soundtrack to our lives, and we associate some of our fondest memories to the music of the time.

This time of year is always nostalgic for me, even more so this year because it will be the first year that I have not been home for Christmas ever. So... since I won't be around my family to reminisce of days gone by, I thought I'd share a few of my favorite Christmas memories with my radio family.

Mother's Day is just on the horizon. Our mothers do so much for us and are an important part of who we eventually become. Do you have a special memory of your mom that you always smile when you think about? I have two very special memories of my mom...
