The Christmas Tree
Christmas spirit arrived every year with the Christmas tree. We put the ornaments on the tree together with the candy canes, Christmas crackers, and the tinsel. The most important ornament was the angel, who sat on the top of the tree.
Christmas gifts, stockings, and “white lies”
I was permitted to open one gift on Christmas Eve. Christmas was the only time we were allowed to tell “white lies”, and mom told as many as possible, to prolong the excitement. Stockings were more important than the gifts. Mom filled them with small surprises, sweets and chocolate.
Christmas Morning
“Christmas is here! Christmas is here! Wake up! Wake up!” I would shout. Mom would find me in the living room where, with an enormous smile, I waited impatiently to open my gifts.
Christmas Dinner
Christmas dinner was always a stuffed turkey. My first job was to help make the stuffing – mom’s famous and angelically delicious stuffing! My second job was to eat, eat, eat!
Peace and joy to everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
(This article is dedicated to my mom who always made Christmas a special time of year – Merry Christmas Mom!)
