When someone shares memories of their family and of times past, you can almost always count on stories from holidays, and often about Christmas. Of course, this is one of the happiest and most carefree time to gather; a feeling of peace and of cheer fill the air and our hearts.
Remembering Christmas At Mamaw’s
By Sandy Siple
When I started having grand-children ten years ago, I wanted to give them something special that no one could ever take away. The cherished memories of Christmas loved and shared at Grandmas.

Loren and Ruth Ahlrichs of Overland Park, Kansas, were very kind in sharing with me some of their Christmas memories and traditions passed down from their families.

Bag of Toys
My favorite memory of Christmas is when my children were small, someone left a bag of toys at my mothers house for them. Mother would not say who did it. To this day, I still don’t know but I have a good idea. “Thanks Rosie”

Fruit and Candy

There was a time in my life, a happy time, when I was young and lived with my grandmother.
She was a tall sturdy woman; she wore a cotton dress with a clean apron every day. I remember the orange cotton stockings and black tie-up shoes, with thick heels. Her hair was gray and pulled back in a bun, where the rest of it showed some waves throughout, as though rebelling.

When I was growing up, things were different then they are now. During the ‘30s and even into the 40’s times were tough for lots of people, until the war was over.
