My 100 yr old Nannie can still vividly describe her joy and anticipation as she awaited each exciting Christmas of her childhood years in the late teens and 1920’s. She can describe the Christmas trees, the glass AND homemade ornaments and the smells of fruits and special foods… The sounds of laughter and the pure joy of having guests who visited and shared this special season with her family each of her childhood Christmases.
