Gingerbread, Memories, & Tea

I am happy to join Wanda Lee and Pam for a Gingerbread Tea.  I thought I would have my little gingerbread tea with some childhood memories. 

I can remember Christmas being a magical time.  I remember playing with the nativity.  My favorite was the baby Jesus.  I took special care of him and wrapped him up safely when we put him away for next year.  Did you ever gallop a sheep or coddle the baby Jesus?  I found the little lamb thrifting for $2.00.

Did you bake cookies?  I remember just learning to cook and I couldn't wait to make Christmas cookies each year.  I made sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and gingerbread too. 
I made this paper soldier's hat from newspaper when I was 14.  I got the directions from a Colonial Willamsburg book about Christmas decorating.
 
What fun memories do you have of Christmas?  Tell what your favorite memory was.
