he first Christmas Eve I

can remember is wait-

ing for night to come so
Twe could go to bed and

expecting Santa Claus to come in the
night. Mother had to help with evening

chores so Blanche and I swept the floor,

and dusted (don’t know how good) and
then we would sit in our little chairs

waiting for them to come in and light
the lamps. Christmas morning came

and we found candy, nuts, and oranges

in our stockings. We each got a beauti-
ful doll with hair. Mine had dark hair

and Blanche’s was a blonde. I don’t re-

member what color of hair Hazel’s doll
had. I think hers was a baby doll. I don’t

remember anything else we got. That’s

the first Christmas I remember.
