Christmas Customs Still Maintained In Lawrence Family
The Smithmeyers and Longeneckers will gather at the Smithmeyer home in Lawrence for Christmas next week, continuing a fourth generation tradition begun by Theodore Poehler and August Poehler of the Tiercantile family. Early Lawrence lacked electric streets, so Christmas centered in the home with baking, German cookies, and festive rituals. The tale recalls tree trimming, Santa visits, stocking hanging, and family games, including the ring game, as part of the season’s memories.
