One thing I miss is having church on Christmas Eve where the children performed the Nativity Scene, and we received a sack of fruit, candy and nuts as we left church. It was always snowing out and we rushed to Grandma's house to have hot chocolate, cookies and cakes and opened presents. We also opened them in the morning at Grandma's house and had a huge dinner, which we helped ourselves to all day.
I miss carolers. We always used to go around the town caroling.
I always got books for Christmas, and I poked my nose in it the entire day. Smile.
Thanks for lovely post. It brought back many memories.
