December 22 - 24, 1971 Christmas Eve


Wednesday, December 22, 1971

It dawned clear, cold and windy. I done up my work, went down to Betty’s. I washed windows, helped her clean up. She made fudge, cookies, pumpkin bread, cornballs. Bill fixed the cellar door. We did a lot of washing.

Down to Betty’s. We put the finishing touches on for the preparations for Christmas. Cleaned, washed and changed things around to make room. Betty washed and waxed floors. It looks very nice down there. I came home, got supper. Bill down fishing on the ice.

A nice day. In early a.m. I did a lot of work getting ready for evening. I was busy all day. Billie home today. After supper I took a bath. Went over to Esther’s a little while. Came home about 7:30 Betty, Walt and kids came, Fern and Lloyd, Es, Cliff and family. We waited for the Thomases. They came about 9:30. We opened our gifts. All had a good time. Jeff stayed here all night. Dorothea and Dave went down to Betty’s to stay all night. We cleaned all up and got to bed about 2 AM.
