Christmas memories from a Thirties low mood year
Chuck Hotle recalls a Christmas in the 1930s marked by frugal, self reliant celebration. The family cuts an evergreen branch for a candle lit display, Mum orders from Sears, Bank droughts and wood sales fund gifts, relatives visit by train, and a warm meal follows a carom tournament by the old wood stove, leaving lasting memories of sharing.
