Jodie Sweetin looking back on her childhood Full Houseand a special Christmas program left a good impression on her. In fact, she remembers her character Stephanie Tanner’s vacation situation VERY real!

Sweetin was straight SIX year old at the time! And the story of the program was a big problem for little Stephanie!
Remember that one? Basically, the Tanner family gets stranded at an airport during a snowstorm, throwing their Christmas plans into complete chaos. But Stephanie has a much bigger concern than delayed flights or missing vacations: how hungry Santa Claus right to find them if they are stuck at the airport?!?!
She recalled:
“I remember, I don’t know why, but the first Christmas episode we had where the family got stuck in the airport in Colorado. We’re trying to get to Becky’s family or somewhere and we’re not doing it. I remember it very vividly.
And apparently, that was a dilemma that took young Jodie to heart!
Sweetin recalled treating Stephanie’s holiday crisis as a “legit” issue, even recalling herself asking:
“How do we solve this problem? You know? I got to draw the little map that Steph has to let Santa find them and everything. I remember that.”
Ha!!! Priorities, people! Santa needs to guide!
In fact, Sweetin remembered to draw a little map for Stephanie to help Santa find the family and deliver their presents. And nearly four decades later, that adorable detail has stuck with her!

But those weren’t the only memories that came flooding back! Sweetin remembered too John Stamoswho actually played Uncle Jesse, getting accidentally kissed by a woman while wearing a turtleneck. Looking back, she described that particular moment as “really inappropriate.”
And she remembered it late, brilliantly Bob Sagetwho played her father TV legend Danny Tanner, appeared on an airport conveyor belt covered in snow!
For Sweetin, however, the whole experience was especially memorable because she was still a small child experiencing the magic of Christmas on television for the first time:
“It was the first time I got to play Christmas on TV, you know? As a kid, that’s kind of fun and exciting.”
Seriously, how sweet is that?!
It is wild to think that it is such an event Full House Fans who grew up watching it is still such a vivid childhood memory for one of its youngest stars!
Now, excuse me while we revisit the Christmas nostalgia of the little Tanner family. LOLz!!!
