An acquaintance just posted a pic of them being absolutely delighted with building a snowman and I realized I haven't done that in years. It also made me think about things I enjoyed doing as a kid, and (whether it be from mental issues or not) I can't quite recall anything that brought me joy.

So I'm really just curious, what are other people's happy memories of their childhood? Might help me remember mine, and "worst" case I get to enjoy some good memories second-hand!

Edit: Couldn't be happier to have asked this question, not only are there some wholesome little stories, but I could also finally remember some of the good times of my childhood again!

Friends: Other than being outside with friends playing football, soccer, baseball, street hockey, on bikes, playing around creeks, playing in the woods, we played a lot of video games. We had some absolutely wonderful times playing multiplayer Bomberman, any PvP fighter (you name it, we played it), Super Smash Bros, etc. we’d watch each other play all manner of RRGs too. Yes kids, I grew up with the “classics” when they were new!

Family: Long talks around the dinning room table at holidays with family and friends, yearly OBX beach trips, yearly vacations to see family in FL. Christmas’ and birthdays with family.

I’m blessed/lucky to have a family with low drama and we all get along well. I’m also blessed/lucky to have grown up with some really great friends and we still have strong relationships. I wouldn’t change a thing.
