Merry and Bright

Thinking back to Christmas, it was a special time, year after year.  The question is are those memories really as grand as we remember them?  People look back to years of the Great Depression as children and daydream of family unity. While the parents may have been greatly depressed; mentally and financially.

The entire family in my mind though were special people, making the Christmas spirit come alive.  Aunts and uncles, cousins, sister, mom and dad, from Thanksgiving, Christmas to the New Year made time stand still.  We knew there was no such thing as Santa.  The entire family did believe and celebrated Christ being the true reason for the season.  Yet Santa was credited for much of the presents.

The music and songs still bring a tear and a stream of memories of the tree and decorations and the food of course. Add the "classic"movies...It was all a "Christmas package."
