Hmmmm...  there are a lot and of course the sentimental side of me will say, just spending time with my dad.  I guess, the thing I always remember, and laugh about is how my dad would get so excited for Christmas.  He'd put up the lights, we'd do the tree, he loved giving gifts, but come Christmas Eve he was such a stressed out mess, he was yelling at us kids for "not being in the Christmas spirit."  I don't know why but the irony of him angry and yelling about us not being in happy or fighting was always funny to me. I should mention, my sister and I were always trouble, bickering and fighting back and forth.
