Little Holly on Christmas Day

This is a picture of my mom on Christmas day back in the 1950s when she was still an only child. Christmas has always been "big business" for her because she was born on Christmas Day. She always makes it a nice holiday for everyone, even now.


Even though it's a black and white picture, you can really see the sparkling tinsel on the tree in the corner.

One year, Great Gramma Josephine was left in charge of Little Holly on Christmas Eve while Gramma Pickles and Eddie did the barn chores. When they got back to the house, they discovered that Great Gramma had "watched" Holly open ALL the presents. Great Gramma was having a GREAT time watching Holly ... There were all the presents, opened on the floor with no idea what gift was for whom. Grappa could have "crowned" Gramma.
