23rd

Ms. Wolfe's dad came in today to read us a Christmas story '__Twas The Night Before Christmas__. He doesn't have any grandkids, so he read us the story. Afterwards, he asked us what our family traditions on Christmas were. Then, he asked us questions about the story and told us what th past was like with Christmas. And how Christmas used to be like every other day of the year and people went to work and went on just like it was a normal day. A kerchief is what women wore over their heads at night with a cap, so the heat didn't leave them, and they could stay warm. He is telling us what words like kerchiefs,sugarplums, corsers. How trains got associated with Christmas, all packages got distributed by railroad express for things were sent fast. There were no airplanes or anything like UPS or anything like that. Ms. Wolfe asked us what fun things everyone was doing for Christmas. Happy early birthday to Dalton and Lillie. Merry Christmas everyone!
