Just read a few of your post and, yes, memories of the way things were in the "good old days" are better than any memories that will be left for the past couple generations.

You were such a good daughter, and your mom and dad must have been so surprised getting a Christmas present from Santa that year. My mom bought 'Camels' back then too. So much of what you write about growing up holds the same memories for me, like everyone in town knowing each other and the store keeper being kind and helpful. Although we had garland for our tree, I've heard of stringing popcorn for the branches and the aluminum foil star for the top of the tree.<br /><br />Thank you for your wonderful stories throughout the years, Susie. They really make me smile and are heartwarming. Merry Christmas to you, dear friend.<br /><br />love, ~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-8748240375543977812016-12-22T10:42:10.325-08:002016-12-22T10:42:10.325-08:00Hi Susie, I know the Christmas feeling you are spe...Hi Susie, I know the Christmas feeling you are speaking about. It wasn't an abundance of gifts...like you said maybe an apple and orange and if we were lucky a small gift for each. I wish kids today could feel the joy we felt back them...over the simplest of Christmases. I remember mommy giving us kids 50 cents to buy a gift for her. It was at the five and dime store. A small bottle of perfume tied to a bell shaped ornament. My gosh that had to have been some luxurious fragrance. LOL. Blessings to you my dear friend. Wishing you and your the best Christmas. xoxo,love, SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-43224413370715987222016-12-19T17:38:31.908-08:002016-12-19T17:38:31.908-08:00Such lovely Christmas memories, Susie.
