Remembering Christmases Past
Barbara Hall, 73, of Terrell remembers when she and she and her four sisters spent Christmas Eve waiting for Santa Claus.
Hall said that each year she and her sisters would get one toy, fruit, nuts and candy.
“My dad would put bags of fruit, nuts and candy in a chair,” Hall said. “He would set up a chair for each one of us.”
Hall said she misses those Christmases.
“When I was a kid, you got one toy on Christmas morning,” Hall said.
After opening their toy, Hall and her family would go to her grandmother's home in the country for dinner.
“We had to wait until the adults got through eating for us to eat,” Hall said laughing.
Kelsie Dixon, 69, of Kaufman has two special Christmases she remembers.
She remembers the one when she was 12.
“I got my first doll ever,” Dixon said. “That was special.”
Her favorite Christmas memory is the Christmas of 2003.
“My son was alive then,” Dixon said. “We all had dinner together.”
Dixon's son died the next year from an aneurysm at 47.
Still, Dixon tries to make Christmas special. She visits her nieces and the day is filled with traditional holiday events.
“We set around and eat, drink egg nog and sing Christmas songs,” Dixon said.
