Christmas

When I was a little boy Christmas was the time for asking for toys. I ask for a electric train and a sled and some toys army truck. If I was lucky I got one of my wishes. I got the electric train set. My sisters got a toy dolls for christmas. We never seen our tree until Christmas morning it was beautiful. Times was hard. I know Mom and Dad had a hard time getting the toys for us. The war was going on things was hard to get, we got other toys too but the biggest ones we ask for we got. Mom and Dad and Grammie would cook the Christmas dinner. We had pies and all kinds of things to eat. The turkey and mashed potatoes, carrots and peas and yellow onions and of course stuffing and gravy. We got pretty tired and took a nap and wonder what Santa would bring next year.

This is Tanya just checking in on Rodney's blog. Meeting with Rodney today at the library, hopefully we will be able to update his blog with his Christmas story, it was a great story and I look forward to sharing it with you.
