Christmas Memory


As the holiday season approaches, we often find ourselves reflecting on past Christmases, drawing warmth and nostalgia from cherished memories. One such memory takes us back to the year 1929—a time when life was simpler, yet filled with the profound joy of togetherness.

Picture a small, close-knit community coming together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas. The air is crisp, and the scent of pine fills the homes, adorned with handmade decorations. Families gather around the hearth, sharing stories and laughter, while children eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus.

Dr. Ferrol Sams in his book Christmas Gift shares his memory of Christmas in 1929. Despite the challenges of the era, the warmth of family and community shone brightly. It was a time when gifts were simple, yet given with love and received with gratitude. As we celebrate this holiday season, let us remember the joy of togetherness and the importance of cherishing our own Christmas memories. From all of us at Friends of Historic Woolsey, we wish you a Merry Christmas filled with love and happiness.
