Childhood Holiday Memories

My roommate and I were talking a bit about some of our childhood memories. We first talked about easter. She mentioned that her and her family never really got anything like dresses and outfits. For my family when I was really young we usually got an outfit of some sort. Later on I got a dress and my brother got a nice suit. Then when my sister came a long she got a couple dresses. We got a basket with a few treats in them and usually a movie or something like that.
An Easter that I remember was on my mission. It was so fun becuase we would drive past all of the different churches. One church had a big white cross out in front and the children were all dressed in their new pastel dresses and handsome suits. It was fun watching them put flowers on the cross.
We also got talking about Valentine's day. I remember a few in particular but I don't really want to write them down. Trying to banish them. Anyway. So, one Valentine's day I remember I think I was oh, 11? Mom if you read this you can correct me. But anyway, my brother and I went grocery shopping. I don't remember how, but we did. My sister and her friend decorated our living room. They cut out hearts and put them all around the room. We set up the card table with a nice table cloth and two candles. We put the radio where they could hear it, but couldn't see it.
We had my parents sit down. We served them spaghetti (the only thing we could cook at the time) and garlic bread. We also had bought a heart shaped cake. We served that. It was so much fun. I will always remember that Valentine's day.
Let's see what other holidays can I tell you about (if anyone reads this...).
I remember one St. Patricks day my mom made everything green. We had green beans, green cups (that made our milk green), my mom was even cleaver enough to make green meat loaf.
I think even she thought that was discusting. :)
I think that's about it for now.
Thanks for letting me share some of my holiday memories.
