December 25, 1969 Christmas Back At The Farm (Nanny was so happy!)

Thursday, December 25, 1969 Christmas Day Back At Farm

It dawned clear and cold. Got up and got ready and went down to Betty and Walt’s for Christmas. Back at the farm. It seems so good. We had little difigglety with the turkey. I was plain stupid and didn’t get the turkey precooked on top of the stove. It was awful.

It took about four hours opening up the nice Christmas gifts. They were plentiful and elegant for all. We had a nice day with a very late dinner. Fern, Lloyd, Aunt Ava. Betty, Walt, Carmen, Kim, Zak, David, Dorothea, Jeffrey, Billie, Bill and me, Althea. It was so natural. Dot called in late p.m. Dinner: turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, turnip, shell beans, onions, celery, relish dish, rolls, pumpkin bread, cranberry sauce, cranberry juice, suet pudding, custard pie, apple pie, Christmas cake, cookies, ice cream, fruit, grapes, and nuts.
