Tuesday, December 25, 1962 Christmas

Fair and sunny. A BIG DAY. We had Dorothea and Jeffrey here for Christmas. It was the best Christmas for three years. We had Esther and Milan’s families last year. Fern, Lloyd, Blanche and Bob here for dinner. Kennie and Dot called in p.m. and Aunt Ava and Uncle Lewis. We all got many nice gifts. Dinner: turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, onions, shell beans. Gravy, cranberry sauce, two salads, rolls, graham nut bread. Whipped cream cake, chocolate cake and ice cream.

A nice day. Not too cold. We did the ironing, cleaned up a little. Betty didn’t come downstairs today. Linda Berry came and she went for a ride with her.

A nice day, not too cold. Done up the work. Blanche called. Fern and Lloyd called. Kennard and Delores, Dawn and Aunt Ava. Betty still unhappy. No news is good news. Hope Mike is okay. Dorothea down to Barb’s tonight.
