Favorite Holiday Memory

Everybody has a great holiday memory, whether it is during Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other holiday. I have a memory from Christmas that is in a way great and not so great. This memory happened close to 10 years ago. It is definitely one that i will never forget and i dont believe my family will forget either.

It was Christmas day in 2000 i believe, the weather was actually very nice for a Christmas day, and i wanted to open presents then got out and play at the park. We had a park across the street from out house. Well we got done opening presents and my dad was like, go out in the garage and get a big trash bag to put the ripped present paper in. So i did and when i got out there, there was a sweet two seater go-cart. I couldnt believe it, the first thing i did was run inside to get my jacket, then i was outside riding the thing. Eventually it turned to disaster.

My younger sister and I, were riding that go-cart all day long, she was getting tired so i let her off and i decided to go for one more quick ride before i shut 'er down for the day. Back then i really wished that i would have just gone inside but now that i think about i think it was a funny thing. Well i came cruising around a corner and i thought i heard a car coming so i turned around to see if there was one, which there wasnt, and slammed into about 6 mailboxes. Now the good thing was was that my sister wasnt with me because she would have had a 4x4 post in her lap but the bad thing was, was that i was embarrassed and crying.

The thing was, was that my dads uncle from Alaska was at our house and he loves giving people crap about anything. To this day he still makes fun of me for it, so that is why i cant ever forget that day because of him. That was my favorite Christmas memory and it is something that i will never forget, not only because my uncle makes fun of me for it, but its also because it is a very unusual accident for me.
