My Citizen dual time bought in Jamaica on my honeymoon as a wedding gift October 1992 and my Rolex GMT 16710 given by my bride for our 15th wedding anniversary.  My best young Christmas memory was when I was almost 4 years old. When we were young my brother and I would wake up extra early and sneak into the living room to see what had been left under the Christmas tree. That year there was a small green bicycle with training wheels and a bell on the handlebars standing right in front in all it's glory. Normally we would sneak back to our bedroom and impatiently wait until we heard someone else in the house wake up and start moving about. Not that year. Nope - my brother could read and he told me that the tag had my name on it. I climbed on board and started riding it down the hall and ringing the bell. Pure unbridled enthusiasm. I'd been a daredevil on my tricycle and was really hoping for a 2 wheeled bike. There was nothing holding me back. I'd reached the end of the hall and my brother helped me turn it around so I could run it back the other way. Needless to say the rest of the family woke up pretty quickly after that. That was definitely my best young Christmas memory. |

better late than never...a couple more coming before the end of the day! We used to have a big Christmas party that is usually held on 5 star hotels until the owner decided to close the business down and started buying properties which led to property managing. Resulting a no party but with just a bonus!  |

My most memorable was during my childhood days (8 years old)...I gather my 2 little sisters and asked them how much money they have saved up in their piggy banks. I then asked them if they want to chip in so we could buy our mother (teacher) a present. They gave me a few cents and we went to the nearby store and bought her a cheap lipstick. The look on our mother's face was priceless when she received it.  |
