This is a collection of stories about the celebration of Christmas, as I experienced this holiday during my lifetime. Some of these stories are nostalgic and some are sentimental; a few are funny and a couple I would like to forget.

A few years ago, I went back to my home town to attend my 60-year high school class reunion. The day after the festivities, I took my camera in hand, got in my car, and spent most of the day on a sentimental journey.

The stories in this book will tell you about the schools and churches I attended, the places where members of my family worked, and places where my friends and I played.
You will enjoy the sounds, the smels and the social events of a vibrant community. You...
