Poro has many memories he cherishes and keeps close to his heart, but his memories of the Christmas holiday are truly the ones he wishes to never forget. Christmas, being his favorite holiday, holds the most space in his memory bank, as it is such a wonderful time of love and giving. One memory, however, he holds above all the others. He can remember it clearly, the blazing fire crackling in the old, sun bleached fireplace with its cracked bricks and unpolished wood top, the scent of cookies and the sounds of laughter echoed throughout the old, creaking house.

Poro was in the kitchen, with its round, wooden table and the shining redwood chairs, one pulled over to the white stove with its numerous, permanent stains so he could stand atop it and mix the delicious sugar cookie batter in the bowl. His mother and grandmother smiled as their young bean mixed while humming Silent Night, the worn cupboards behind them open from the search for the metal pans. They then moved the dough to the table, and he rolled it out expertly, and watched when he was done as his Gramma claimed to want a turn, but he knew now it was to fix the lumpy dough he had rolled out.

Using different cookie cutters, the dough eventually became snowmen, Christmas trees, ornaments, and lights. He wanted to be the one to watch the cookies, and make sure they were done, so with the help of his Mum he put the cookies in the oven and sat down for the long wait, staring intently at the oven. Something must have happened, he realized now, that had caused his Gramma and Mum to forget about the cookies, and being so young he didn’t know they were done until *he* thought they were done.

Running into his mother he ushered them into the kitchen where in the oven lay the blackened cookies, which he thought was perfectly done. “Mama, Mama I watched ‘em and they’re done, Mama!” he cooed happily, tail swishing from side to side in happiness. He hadn’t missed the exchange of amused smiles from his Mum and Gramma, and thought it was because he had done a beautiful job at watching those pesky cookies.

They iced them as normal, and at the urging of Poro, his Mum called his Da and Grandpa into the kitchen where glasses of milk and one cookie each were passed around. With big, hazel eyes Poro watched intently, a large grin on his face as the four munched on the burnt cookies, and made sounds of enjoyment.

Looking back on it now, Poro knew it had to be terrible to eat those… But with all four of his family members gone, it was one of the only things he could hold onto to remember how they supported him, even when he made terrible, burnt cookies. He can still feel the warmth, the love that the memory held, and he knows with certainty that his parents and grandparents still loved them wherever they were now. In return, he will always keep the memory, their memory, the happiness and joy they brought to his life, alive.
Love of my Life

What should I even put here now?

    Favorite Christmas memory;
    "Mommy, mommy!" I cried, running over to the bed. Mother groaned, rolling around so her back was towards me. "MOMMY! Wake up! It's CHRISTMAS!" I cried. She sighed, sitting up in the bed. "Christmas, eh?" She smiled sleepily down at me. "Yes!" I exclaimed. We both walked down stairs; I occasionally tumbled down the giant steps, my tiny paws tripping over one another. Before I even glanced at the presents under the tree, I tumbled over to the stocking. I swear, it could stretch around the whole house. I grabbed it and yanked it from the nail on the fireplace. I landed with a squeak on the floor, the stocking in my lap. I dump it out; and it's all candy. I frown, crossing my arms, and start to dig through the pile. I sigh, picking up the last pieces of candy. And something, shiny, catches my attention. In the very, very bottom of the pile of chocolate. I blink at it with my golden eyes, and slowly reach forward. Two, shining bells; and a string. One, single, long string. . .
    "Come on Jingle!" Mom shouts. "Mama!" I cry, picking up the bells and string, and tumbling over, eyes still wide as I drop the bells at the floor. She smiled, picking them up. She runs the string through both bells, and tells me to turn around. I obey, and she finally announces, "there." I look at my tail; two, shining, golden bells, hanging by a thread. I smile at her, waving my tail and listening to them jingle. She smiles at me, picking up a box wrapped in sparkling gold wrapping paper. "Now, let's open this present now, shall we?"

    I closed the scrapbook, and all the little beans sitting around me are smiling as they drink their hot cocoa. "And that, was my very first Christmas; if you want to hear another, I can always tell you about the time I burnt the hot chocolate! We were eating cookies to try to stop our tongues from burning; those were burnt too." I smile sheepishly, rubbing the back of my head. "Surprised I wasn't named Crisp or something."

Favorite Christmas memory;
___A large, jaw-splitting yawn emerged from me that morning. Then again, everyone was yawning today.
"It's Christmas! I should be excited," I thought to myself that day. I was starting to feel the spirit!
...Then I looked around.
Oh. Right.
Last night, a fire had burnt down our house. Not just any fire, but a fire caused by (you guessed it) me. I was baking cookies for my mother, then the alarm went off. Luckily, we all got out alive, but though I was alive and well, inside I was crushed. I had ruined Christmas for everyone. Now we were sleeping in a fire department, not too far away from the rubble. Yawning again, I shook my mother and Father awake. “Good morning Mommy and Daddy,” I said quietly, looking down. “It’s Christmas today.”
My mother looks at me and smiles.
“Merry Christmas, Torro.” she said warmly.
I look at them sadly, and then tell them that I’m going to go look at the rubble. They nod, and the firefighters send me off. Though they were muttering, I clearly heard them say that they had better things to do than trip over little boys. Sniffling, I went down to the wreck. Angry with myself, I picked up a rock and threw it as hard as I could. When it landed, I heard a strange, hollow sounding noise with the slightest sound of the jingle of a bell.
I silently wept upon the wreck. Then, once I managed to get a hold of myself, I made my way over to the hollow noise, still attempting to wipe tears from my now soot-covered face. Beneath the rubble and rocks, there it was! A present.
The tag, singed yet still readable, said distinctly- To Torro; With Love, Santa Bean. When I saw the gift, I sat down and cried some more. And no, not just because the gift was salvaged; because a burnt gingerbread man was lying on top of the box. When I could begin to see through the tears, I picked up the soot-covered box and made it back to the fire station. “Mommy, Daddy,” I cried, “I found something!” The box still held that one burnt gingerbread man.
“Well, Tor, you should open it!” My father said, tears welling up in his eyes. Slowly, I peeled away the crumbling wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside were two shining golden bells attached to a string. When I shook them, they made the most beautiful sound ever. I could hear my mother and father whispering in the background, mumbling things like, “I don't remember getting him that.” Still, I loved them nonetheless. I looked up at my mother with my big, hazel eyes.
“C-could you wrap them around my tail, please?” I whispered to her. She nodded and smiled. After that, she couldn’t stop smiling. I waved my tail to and fro, listening to the sweet sound of the golden bells that showed me the true meaning of Christmas.
I suppose that this must be my favorite Christmas memory, for it is my only childhood Christmas memory.

Favorite Christmas memory;
It was Christmas morning and he had gotten a teddy bear from his mom. He was really happy and couldn't wait to show it to his friend, Nim, so he asked his mother if he go and visit her, she said yes. He quickly ran through the snow to Nim's den but when he got there, she was crying. He asked her what was wrong and she told him that she hadn't gotten any presents. He felt really bad for her so he nudged his little teddy over to her and smiled as he said "you can have it". She smiled as she wiped away her tears then hugged him tightly "thank you!" she said softly then pulled back and kissed his cheek. He blushed as he shuffled his paws "it was nothing..." When he went home his mom asked him where his present was and he told her what happened. His mom smiled as she wrapped her tail around him "that was a very nice thing to do, im very proud of you."

I made Nim up for the memory, she is not a real JBD

favorite christmas memory; ren decided to help for a kindergarden. the kindergarten was poor and the children didn't have much toys to play with. seeing this a great plan came into his mind. he made cookies to sell them for toys. one box of cooki for a plush or toy car. he happily made the cinnamon and vanilla flavoured cookies.
on a saturday afternoon he sat in fron of a huge pine tree with a small table. he put the cookies on it. some people saw the cookies and approached him. they asked the price of the cookies and ren answered "one toy for one box, madam." most of the people found this a fair price and agreed. but when ren opened a box of cookies they snorted angrily these cookies are burnt." and left.
ren was really sad. noone wanted his burnt cookies. he was just sitting under the pine tree. after two hours he started to tremble from the cold so he decided to go home. suddenly a women came to his table and said "i'll buy all the cookies." ren told her that all of them are burnt but she insisted to buy them. after that she paid for all of them and left.
ren took the toys to the kindergarten. all the children were really happy and thankful - ren as well. he never forgot the woman who helped him.

Name; Kenneth- from the Irish and Gaelic origin and the meaning of the name is fire born
Gender; Male
Favorite Christmas memory; Every year Kenneth's family and friends come to his house to play a favorite family tradition of baking burnt Christmas cookies, decorating them and then hanging them on the tree every Christmas eve.

Last year it was a disaster, all the cookies had gone because of black birds. The only thing left was the string holding them up.

This year on the 24th of December they made a change, he started to make the cookies Kenneth got a bowl he added flower, baking powder, an egg, Vanilla Extract, Sugar and butter and mixed.Then he got the tray and added the mixture on it. He put to cookies in the oven and started to make the icing, Kenneth put sugar icing into a 4 bowls then he added 150 ml of water and mixed each of them. The sugar had became a thick runny mixture, he didn't want plain white though so he added green icing sugar, red icing sugar, yellow and blue food colouring to the bowls so there was different. The smell of cookies caught his attention they weren't quite burnt yet but they still smelt like heaven. Kenneth walked over to the living room and sat on his favorite bean bag and waited without noticing Kenneth fell asleep lightly. Ten minutes later the sound of the smoke alarm went off Kenneth suddenly awoke his farther was shouting in fear ''Whats happened?!'' Kenneth got up on his two feet and ran to the Kitchen ''Cookies are ready!'' Kenneth shouted back to him he opened the oven a thick layer of smoke came out he coughed and walked over to the back door and opened it so the smoke alarm would stop. Kenneth took the hot tray out the oven, the cookies where properly burnt ''Its a good job there meant to be burnt'' he told himself, next he had to let them cool down before decorating them so once again he went to the living room and sat on his bean bag he didn't fall asleep as his farther was snoring loudly, he pushed a cushion against his face so he didn't hear him but he could still hear the load roar. He heard his mother calling him from the top of the stairs, he trotted up to her ''Yes?'' He said ''Get everyone we're going to decorate the cookies'' his mother told him. Kenneth did as he was told and got his large family soon they where all sat around a table with a burnt cookie each in front of them and Icing in the middle of the table ''Wheres your farther?'' His mother asked there was a silence when they heard the loud snoring Kenneth's mother sighed ''Go get him'' For what Kenneth hoped for the last time he woke up his farther and told him it was time to decorate cookies. Kenneth sat down and covered his green cookie in green icing and added gum drops to make it look like a tree. He waited for his family to finish theirs before going outside and gathering around the Christmas tree he saw the blackbirds sitting on the fence watching them with their cookies ''Oh almost forgot!'' Kenneth's mother said walking off into the spare room he saw her get a massive bag of bird seed and dragged it to the the bird feeder. ''That should keep them happy'' She said as everyone started to hang their burnt cookies on the trees. He felt happy as not only his family could do what they wanted but the birds got a Christmas present too.

    Favorite Christmas memory;
    Gabriel sat leaning against the balustrade of the porch, his tail tightly wrapped around him. It was just starting to snow. A barely-there drifting of cold fluffy whites. The ground was just starting to get covered, as the snow fell quite slowly as of now. Gabriel let out a soft hum of contentment, watching his breath fog up in front of him.
    The lights from inside cast a soft hue on the outisde, causing everything to seem a warm golden color. Gabriel glanced at the bells attached to his tail and rung them ever so slightly, watching them glow lightly in gold. They always cheered him up and made him feel on top of the world, somehow, his bells. I guess you could call them his safety blanket.
    Gabriel swiftly turned his head, hearing a faint noise coming from beyond the yard. Singing. He could hear singing. Someone was out caroling. No. Not someone, there were at least two people, maybe four.
    Their voices were simply magnificent. What was it they were singing? Silent Night, it sounded like. They were harmonizing perfectly. It was nearly strange how well they did so. Plucked from Heaven's choir, if you may.
    Gabriel sunk back then, sighing softly, grinning wide. The sound of the voices singing filled his head and made it fuzzy with sleep, which was calling to him just about now. He listened to the carolers as sleep took him in it's arms with warmth and comfort. Peaceful snow... Golden lights... Heaven's choir...

    Angels, he thought as he slowly fell asleep. The angels are singing.
