CHRISTMAS From Page 1-B Grandma's favorite gifts were a Shirley Temple doll and a new dress. Grandma said they were very thank- ful and happy just being together as a family. A Long Ago Christmas By Jeremy Harrelson My great-grandmother is 84 years old and her birth- day is December 18. Her name is Ellaree. Her family would gather around a piano and sing _ Christmas carols. There were ten children in her fami- ly. A few times they got caught trying to see Santa Claus. Once in a while she would get a new dress. She would wear it to school and come home and wash it and wear it again the next day. Also, she would only get new shoes about once a year. She never got toys for Christmas. They used socks for stockings. They usually got one apple, one orange, sometimes a pear, and one stick of candy. Her family grew their own apples. One of her favorite Christmases was when she was four years old. She got a doll and her mother made it. My Grandpa's Christmas By Chris Black Grandpa is 77 years old. When he was a child, they made all the decorations for their tree with a cotton star on top. They used their socks for stockings. They were filled with apples, oranges, nuts, and gifts of small toys. His favorite toy was a cap buster gun. He played the part of The North Wind in a Christmas play once, which was fun. He also rode in sleighs that were pulled by horses. Grandpa really loved Christmas back then. A Long Ago Christmas By Cassie Bell My grandmother is 66 years old. When she was a little girl she liked to go into the woods with her father to chop down a tree to decorate the day before Christmas. She made ‘her decoration by stringing pop- corn for the tree. She went to church and played with her friends. My grandmother always went 0 visit her grand- mother on Christmas day for a large dinner. Her aunts and uncles were also there. A favorite gift she got was a baby doll from her fa- ther. A Long Ago Christmas By Adam Morgan I interviewed Frances Phifer. She is my mawmaw. She is 65 years old. Christmas was different when she was a child. She went with her daddy, brothers, and sisters to cut down a tree in the woods. They decorated it with paper gar- lands that they had colored with crayons. They had no lights on the tree. For presents, they had no toys. They had candy and fruit. They had no stockings. They were happy any- way. On Christmas Day, the whole family ate dinner:to- gether. They had country ham, chicken, and lanonese fruitcake. They all had a good time. Mawmaw's favorite Christmas was when she was ten years old. She got a baby doll that cried. It was special because it was the first time she got a toy for Christmas. Her Christmas of long ago was very different from ours. But they still loved it, just like we do today. A Long Ago Christmas By Pam Randall Long ago, when my Paw Paw Howard was a little boy, he and his brothers and sister would go to bed ear- ly. When they got up the next moming they would see - what Santa brought them. It was usually 3 toys. In his stocking he would have apples and oranges. One year he got a red wagon. My great-grandpaw would go out and shoot his gun. Now we get more toys. Merry Christmas! Christmas Long Ago By Courtney Osteen The person who I interviewed was my aunt. She is 82 years old. Santa Claus would put the presents under the tree. My aunt and her sisters would try to see him, but they never did. For decorations on the tree, they would string it with popcorn and berries. They would go over to their ~randma's house for Christmas dinner. My aunt had clothes, but she would only get a doll and a pair of socks. We call her Aunt Marion. She likes to make crafts. She has made a lot of Christmas decorations for my family. My Grandmother's Long Ago Christmas By Katie Lemmond ; My grandmother's daddy said that she had to have a real tree every year. She normally took a walk through the woods to look until she found a tree.

She is 87 years old and will be 88 in March. She always got a pair of long black stockings for Christmas. She remembered that the family would gather for dinner, and then her grandma would tell sto- ries while they sat in front of the fireplace. Then they all went for a ride on the horse and buggy. Her best Christmas was when she got a small red pi- ano, and she will never forget that! Her next best Christmas was spending the day with her grand and great-grandchildren. Grandma's Old Christmas By Brandon Butler When Grandma was a little girl, she and her brother and sisters would go into the woods and find a Christmas tree. Then the family would decorate it to- gether. Everyone only got one present apiece on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This was the year of 1928. Mom's Christmas Memories By Aquino Reynolds I interviewed my mother. She said, "When I was young, I can remember my sister and me arguing over who'd lick the cake bowls, or who'd be the one to put the last ornament on the tree. We always had a big tree for Christmas. We'd sit around it and think about the gifts to come in a week or so. "My mother would always tell us that if we kept ar- guing there would be no Christmas for us, but Christmas always came." Long, Long Ago By Brooks Tate My great-grandma Porter is 81 years old. When she was a child, she received fruit or candy in her Christmas stocking. Their Christmas tree was a cedar tree. They decorat- ed their tree with popcorn on a string and made paper ornaments. She had 9 children in her family. Her first doll was a rag doll, which she received at 5 years old. They had family gatherings with a good meal. Christmases long ago were special. +» Grandfather's Christmas By Matthew-Cavender ~ This story is about my grandfather's Christmas. Tom Landers is a 72 year old man. When he was . about ten years old, he remembers a very special gath- ering on Christmas. He got a new bike and all his fam- ily got to see him ride his new bike. The family got together every Christmas and sang songs. They all ate together, too. Then the kids went outside and played with their new toys and things. Christmas Long Ago By Victor Harbison This is a story about how families celebrated Christmas back in the earlier years. They celebrated Christmas singing carols and all their families gathered together. They had big gatherings. It seemed an impor- tant role in the seasons at the time. Most of the fathers were in Korea. They brought home gifts for their children, such as carved wooden cars and airplanes. My Christmas Story By James Biddix This is a story of Christmas long ago. I'm telling of a person who had his Christmas 67 years ago. He and his family gathered together for gifts and dinner They sang carols and visited other families. His favorite toy was a wooden airplane his father carved for him. It was the thought of everyone there sharing each other's love that meant the most.
