Yep. One spot. Now I stay out of sun except wearing a hat and long sleeves. Well, some sun just not excessively.

I had a very small mole on the middle of my back. Luckily my PCP noticed a change and sent me to a dermatologist. A biopsy was done and it was a malignant melanoma. It was surgically removed and she was able to get it all. It's been 5 years and I've been pronounced cancer free. I was very lucky.

I have had precancerous moles that have been removed but I have been blessed so far to not have had skin cancer

Not yet. Both of us have family histories of basal cell carcinoma and get checked yearly.

As a redhead, I burned a lot as a child. It surprises me that I have not had this diagnosis.

There are too many great choices to settle on just one. Among my faves, "A Child's Christmas in Wales," "A Christmas Story," and "Arthur Christmas" is pretty cute.

Maybe just a dozen or so if you add them all up and include snow boots and water shoes along with the rest.
