Ah Christmas memories. I have a younger brother who did better than the Grinch. When he was five, we lovingly decorated the Christmas tree and handed him the last ornament to hang. He stood on the end of a couch and fell into the tree, knocking it over and busting old family ornaments.

But he excelled on Christmas morning, 6 a.m. Mom had bought Dad a lovely new bowling ball with bag. Little brother woke up before everyone else, unwrapped the bag, took out the bowling ball and rolled it down the hall to the one and only bathroom we had. The little bugger then picked up the bowling ball, and dropped it in the toilet. It sounded like a bomb went off. Our poor father ran in and lovingly picked up his poor scratched bowling ball from the remains of the busted toilet. Do you know how much fun it is to find a plumber on Christmas morning? LOL! Little brother did a lot of things, but that was his Christmas surprise.
