This page is for the Rockin' Scrapping Grans Challenge. We were to scrap a page of our earliest Christmas memories or favorite Christmas memories. Sorry I don't have pictures of early Christmas..... These pictures are of me when I was young and my brother, Ralphie!
Journaling says: Christmases of long ago bring thoughts of laughter, fun and excitement to me.
Some of my earliest memories are of the smell of fir balsam and going to the attic
to bring down the ornaments and decorations that we stored from previous years.
It was a pink clear glass ball with Santa and his reindeer and sleigh going around
the ornament. I would give anything to have this ornament today for my tree!

Back then we had no television so we would listen to the beautiful Christmas carols on the radio
and each night at about five o'clock, there was a program on where Santa would read letters
from children and then say various children's names and tell them to be good. Of course I always
listened for my name, and of course my name was not common so I did not ever hear my name
said along with the Betty's, Jane's, Dick's, Jimmy's, David's etc.
During my early years, money was scarce. We learned to appreciate the simple things
such as homemade mittens, scarves and slippers. We used wrapping paper from one year to the next.
Our stockings were hung and filled with very simple things, a walnut, a pencil, a shiny penny,
oranges, apples and candies.
I loved the Christmas programs at church and the beautiful Christmas music.
Today I seldom hear the beautiful Christmas carols such as Silent Night,
Away in A Manger, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem and Oh Come All Ye Faithful...
My parents and Grandmother, I loved are gone, and I still cherish
the true meaning of Christmas of long ago
and in another Christmas time.
