Christmas Memories and Small Farm Pleasures
A reflective piece from Ted Stone recounting childhood anticipation of Christmas and the joy of watching his own kids. He describes cutting a Christmas tree from his farm, dealing with imperfect shapes, and using last minute trimming. He notes broader seasonal cheer, comments on commercialization, and contrasts simple Christmases with economic hardship stories, adding a humorous family anecdote about Uncle Sedgewick and cheese traps for mice.
