It was lighted by colored wax candles held in place by tin holders. It was an enchanting sight When it was stripped of gifts, the men had felt boots, German sox, ear- muffs, Bull Durham and plug tobacco. The women had shawls, high button shoes, long kid cloves and curliner Irons. The older boys had metal-toed shoes. and knit mittens. The older girls had beaded fascinators, "peek-a-boo" sweaters, and dec orated side combs. We young sters settled for the popcorn, slates, pencils, tablets, picture books and a tin horn (that would blow once) and a drum that lasted longer. After gloat ing over their gifts, all turned to the Christmas table loaded with turkey, mince and apple pie, home made "twisted dough nuts" and grandma's cookies. There was the Chirstmas spirit then.
