Christmas

One gift I still have from my childhood is a ceramic horse from my Grandma Kliewer. It was the Christmas of 1943.

One memory I recall when I was a teenager, was the caroling we did. We would have the Christmas eve program at church, then at midnight we would gather and plan where we would go. It was cold, but we enjoyed it. We would mostly go to farm homes. Some people would wake up and invite us in for hot choclate, candy, or cookies. We would do this until about dawn. Even tho sleepy and tired, we would manage to make it to Christmas service in the church. One year I ate so much Almond Joy's I got sick. Didn't want anymore Almond Joy's for a long time. More later.
