Merry Merry and Happy Holidays to All...
Thanks Captain!
My most memorable was in 1975, graduation for high school year. Bought my own car earlier, 1964 Ford Falcon.
It was a lemon, ton of issues.
Xmas came around, had four young sisters, one brother. Under the tree, I scoped out one box with my name on it.
Was not expecting nor wanted anything special at the time. Working part time, had some little cash. Saving for college.
Xmas came around, opened my box. Was a pair of windshield wipers. Was very grateful, thought they were for my nightmare Falcon. Then at the end, we open our socking stuff-ers. Tiny box, with two Pontiac keys. Scratched my head for a second. Now my parents said, go out to the backyard. Around the back of the house was a 1968 Pontiac Firebird. Well, I was in tears and then jumping to the sky.
Loved that car..
Loved my parents and family.
They did not have a lot of money. But somehow my mom saved some cash and my did the hunt down.
