well alot could come to mind ( if I could remember ) but in 1978 I was in Germany. I was a young pup having been away from my family before but not at Christmas . The Military had this program where Gi's could meet a host family and spend Christmas with them . I was fortunate to spend time with a very nice family . unfortunately the father had a heart attack shortly before Christmas and we spent Christmas day at the Hospital . The guy had a good sense of humor and introduced me to everyone as his long lost son from America . I have to say I had a great time and a lasting memory that I have shared with my own girls . I sure wish I got their address , the things we dont do as unthinking youngsters . But I still have the Christmas present they gave me proudly displayed in my house .
