December 25 - 26, 1973 Christmas

Tuesday, December 25, 1973 CHRISTMAS, BIKE

A cloudy day. Up early, got ready and got breakfast and down to Betty’s. All had a nice Christmas. We got the dinner started there, when and while the Horton’s opened the gifts. KIM got her new BIKE and many other things or nice gifts. Zak got his new fire engine. It was fun and much enjoyment watching them unwrap their gifts. Fern, Lloyd, Dorothea, Dave, Bill, Billie and me were there. Gifts were nice and a lot of them. Dinner-Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnip, squash, shell beans, celery, cranberry sauce, pumpkin bread (made by Carmen), salad, rolls, coffee, rolls, lemon sponge, chocolate cream roll, date filled pie, whipped cream cake. Came home after supper and Billie and I took the tree out and cleaned up. Betty and Walt got cleaned up also. Dorothea and Dave went down to his father’s. They enjoyed being here as much as we did having them. Jeff is happy today at his father’s. We got the new table and chairs for the kitchen this year.

Santa came!
