Enquiring Minds - Meme Week 17 PLUS Comment Giveaway + Winner

Thank you for the wonderful sharing last week! 
THE WINNER FROM ENQUIRING COMMENTS from week #16 on December 18 is Raissa who gets to pick a  Christmas book or if she is international then a Book Depository Book or a GC.

This meme is hosted by Dollycas Thoughts for Thursdays - which are hard for me to make.  The goal is to get to know our fellow bloggers and visitors better. Each week Dolly asks some questions for us to answer and then link up. I am late doing the post but I am trying to to participate as I would like to learn more about blogger and follower friends.

WEEK 17 QUESTION

Only 1 question this week.

1. Share with us a favorite childhood holiday moment?

I have many years with lots of good memories  - I was going to pick a current one until I saw it was to be a childhood memory.
Hmmm - One special memory is when I was about 10 years old.  I loved monkeys as a child.  That year I received a gorilla that was almost as big as me. I had "Charlie" until I put him in storage while I was in college. Unfortunately he ended up with bugs and I had to get rid of him.
One other wonderful memory is making Christmas cookies with my mother and sister. That was always fun.

So how about you? Do you have a fav childhood memory to share.   
This week we will do another Christmas book from the Christmas Books for Giveaway.

Rules: a) Must be a follower; b) Share a comment on the question above.

Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.

I will pick a Comment winner from all comments made by next Friday, December 31 at 10PM central. Then hopefully I will announce the winner on Saturday!
