Christmas on the American frontier was simple and quiet. Pioneer families near miles from towns walked to services, held home gatherings with Bible readings and carols, then feasted on ham, goose, and wild birds. Decorations used willow, cedar, shrubs, or tumbleweed when trees were scarce, and sugar was a precious yearly resource.
A simple cheesecake recipe combines cream cheese and milk until smooth then blends in milk and pudding mix. The mixture is poured into a pie crust and refrigerated until firm serving eight.
Hallie Todd, 39, portrayed Jo McGuire on Lizzie McGuire. Born in Los Angeles to a mother actress and a writer producer father, she started acting as a teen with LA theatre roles. Her first TV part came in ABC Afterschool Special in 1983, later appearing on Two of a Kind, Star Trek The Next Generation, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Frontier families share handmade and practical gifts for Christmas. Oranges from Florida were scarce luxuries, while stockings, mittens, dolls, and wooden toys typified the era. Decorations relied on paper chains, straw ornaments, and greenery, with gifts placed on or under Christmas greenery or by the table settings.
