Wow!! this is just wonderful, brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of how things used to be, you are truly gifted with words to create such wonderful journaling, really love it.....bless you, definitely keeping this in my fans just to read over.
I love it! I remember stockings made for deer hunting with walnuts, oranges and ribbon candy. We did have a black and white TV though! Loved the Christmas programs at Church so very much! Now I play carols on the piano so I won't miss them. Thanks for the memories!
Oh Tish.....this is just beautiful and brought a tear to my eye........these are the holidays I remember too. What a beautiful, heartwarming memory you have written for all of your children and grandchildren.......Elegant, nostalgic and brilliant. I love this!!!!
Awesome. The journaling is priceless. You children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will treasure it. It is so well written and expressive. I love the red with the holly berries in the background.
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! ME 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.
