Christmas has meaning
'Continued, from Pace B2t
fences erected, animals and people moved in,
and trees planted. (If' course there are roads
that run through the town and even a railway
line. complete with train. Every year the
scene grows.
But that's just a part of our Christmas
tradition.
Christmas Eve is generally our family
night. We attend a family communion early in
the evening, then separate for awhile to visit
our individual friends, but usually return
home to spend the latter part of the evening
together.
W hat is funny about our Christmases is the
way all the members of the family still behave
as though they were children. As my brother
says. we're probably the only family in
existence. with children over 20 -years -of -
age. that still revels in the childhood practices,
of the season.
We still hang our stockings over the
fireplace rand there are more there now than
in years past t, leave a plate of cookies, a glass
(it' milk and a note for Santa, and that has
difficulty sleeping Christmas Eve.
One of the rules surrounding Christmas
Day at our house is no one is allowed to get
out of bed before 8 a.m., and most of us
adhere to that rule. My youngest sister
however finds sleep a difficult thing and more
often that not creeps into my bedroom and
wakes me from a sound sleep because she
can't find it herself.
When 8 a.m. finally rolls around, which is
usually two to three hours after my sister
rouses me, she summons my parents, who
are quickly supplied with a mug of coffee
(compliments of my sister, and the entire
family proceeds to the basement to see if
Santa came or not.
But the gift giving isn't really a big part of
our Christmas, although I can't deny
everyone likes that part to some degree. But
it seems the members of the family take more
joy in picking out appropriate and unique
gifts for everyone else. so when it finally
comes time to open.the gifts, all that's heard
is .. you go first. no. you go first.., until finally
it's decided that the youngest starts and the
oldest finishes.
By 10 or 11 a.m. our house is generally
filled with the neighborhood kids come to
show us what they got, and -or friends
dropping in to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas. It's that way until about 4 p.m.
when we hustle off to a family gathering at my
grandmother's home. It's at that time we see
the 30 or so relatives we haven't seen sinced
the previous Christmas,
it's a pretty hectic time, but I imagine moat
people, like I do, enjoy the hectic pace of the
Christmas season, although they might not
admit it at the time. Were it any different, it
might be difficult to get that special feeling
Ihat's known as. the Christmas spirit.
And while I have the opportunity to say it, I
wish everyone a very Merry Christmas - 1
hope it is a day and a holiday that is filled with
all the happiness you n,- handle. See you in
the New Year
