Christmas observance in my household, as a child, was much the same as yours. The men in my family were all farmers, none served in WWII (although other relatives did) - my grandfather served in WWI, my brother served in the Vietnam War, my chaplain nephew served in Afghanistan.<br /><br />Blessings!! bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-90729438493994385862015-12-17T17:00:57.979-05:002015-12-17T17:00:57.979-05:00Like I said, some of those things I'd forgotte...Like I said, some of those things I'd forgotten until I started doing the research.

I have one of my mom's ration books.
