The Scent of Christmas Memories

I can’t believe that Christmas is just two weeks away! That
means 13 shopping days left to run around to different stores, finish up
your shopping list and finding gifts for those that are hard to buy for. For
me, my go-to gift for those that are hard to buy for is cologne – which is
typically my nephews.

My nephews typically don’t ask for anything for Christmas
except for money or cologne. And as much as I know that they LOVE money, I want
to give them a gift that they can unwrap and use right away. I always lean
towards purchasing COTY Fragrance Gift Sets – specifically Stetson cologne
because it reminds me of my brothers and it smells wonderful.

As I was in Walmart purchasing the cologne, I couldn’t help
but reminisce about some of my favorite childhood Christmas memories. These are
a few of the most memorable:

  • After opening all the presents, my parents asked me to take
    the trash bag out to the garage. I came back into the living confused and told
    everyone, that a stranger left their bikes in our garage. For some reason it never dawned on me that they were actually for us kids. Ha, talk about a
    blonde moment!
  • Getting a Nintendo in 1986. That was the one and only day my
    dad has ever played it. (My parents still have the game system and it’s a favorite with all
    the grandkids.)
  • Every year from 6-12 grade, my brothers received a gift set
    of Stetson cologne. To this day, I can still picture my brothers with their
    bowl cuts and peach fuzz as they open the gift. It’s no wonder that this memory
    sticks because smell is the most powerful of all senses.
What are your favorite childhood Christmas memories? You can

Our home is decked out in Christmas decor, but fall isn’t ready to make its departure yet. What’s the weather like where you live?

Have you been to the Fort Worth Stockyards? 📷 @hmcotton7
