Memories of an Old Fashion Christmas
Macular degeneration cannot darken the detailed vibrant memories that Shirley Ross still has of her old fashion childhood Christmases. “When I was a little girl, I grew up in a big house with fireplaces, crystal chandeliers, and two real Christmas trees”. She remem- bers the family gathering around a large dining room table eating a wonderful Christmas meal. After dinner they would all sit on the big sofa by the fireplace and sing Christmas carols.
The big event for the family though was when her father would set up his seven foot long Lionel Train Display which included a Mickey Mouse track. She re- members the beautiful homemade items that her father made such as the glit- tering mountains behind the manger, the silvery fence, the little handkerchief dolls, the circus scene and the beautiful waterfall. She also fondly remembers the little black dog with a sock in his mouth. 75 year old head belonging to Shirley Ross’s first baby doll.

Answers: Page 8 Senior Scenes The holidays around the Penn Hills Senior Center We are blessed to be a senior center comprised of people from many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There is always something to learn from one another, especially during the holidays where we can get a glimpse of some of the special ways that people around the globe express their faith, hope, and love. Taking a look at the life of our own Center Coordinator Lena Natalia, is a great place to begin:
“I grew up in a small farming town in Italy. We didn’t have much money for toys or new clothes, but we cele- brated the birth of Jesus by building a manger out of tree branches. We decorated it with hay and laid the “baby Jesus” in the crib on Christmas Eve. We would then gather and sing carols. In the morning we would find fruits and nuts in our socks. We didn’t know about gifts, but we knew the love of family and the joy of being together”.
Born in Taiwan in 1943, Ping Ping Ho celebrated Chinese New Year in her home town of Taipei. Her parents and grandparents would place a little bit of money in a long red envelope known as a hóngbāo. They would have a special meal of chicken or beef or shrimp. She remembers that sometimes there would be fireworks out- side for the children and that adults might play Mahjong inside.
One of the most magical things about Mary Beth Phillip's childhood Christmases was the British tradition of the little elf, “Bill Brownie”. “Bill Brownie would come to my house from Santa’s workshop sometime around Thanks- giving and I would know he was there when I heard noises coming from our attic. I never knew how Bill Brownie got there, just that he would report to Santa about my behavior and he would return to the North Pole with Santa on Christmas Eve. Every year I would choose a piece of dollhouse furniture to add to the little box in the attic where Bill Brownie lived. Every night I would leave crackers and milk for him. My Dad, who loved a good story, created Bill Brownie for me and played it to the fullest until I no longer believed. When we cleaned out my par- ents’ home, I found several pieces of old dollhouse furniture in a small box in the attic and the long-forgotten, sweet memories of an innocent time with my Dad and Bill Brownie came flooding back”.
Christmas was “ love, family and the birth of Jesus” to Joanne Maguire’s Slovak family. She remembers how from ages 6-12, the children had to learn a speech and give it in Slovak at the Christmas Eve dinner table before the family of at least 25 people. They prayed and ate special meatless Christmas Eve Slovak dishes such as pierogi’s and little dough balls dipped in honey called bobalki’s. On Christmas day they would have ham and all the trimmings.
The name Kwanzaa originates from the expression “matunda ya kwanza” meaning “first fruits” in Swahili, and Delores Dupree remembers celebrating it as well as Christmas, with her entire family. They would have a large traditional meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cranberry sauce. Later they would sing the Kwanzaa song together.
While her family did not have a lot of money for toys, she did receive a pair of ice skates one year that made her feel like the famous figure skater “Sonja Henie”. But nothing could ever compare to Evelyn Herrick’s Eastern Orthodox (Russian) family tradition of celebrating the “Holy Supper”. Parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, un- cles, and cousins would all gather together at her “Bubba’s” (grandmother’s) house to celebrate this last day of the 40 days of prayer and fasting that came before Christmas. First, they would go to the sink and wash their faces in a pan of water with coins in it. This, they hoped would bring prosperity for the next year. Straw was placed on the floor and on the table, and a white linen table cloth symbolic of Christ’s swaddling clothes was placed over it. Evelyn recalls that there would always be a candle on the table in a dish of uncooked barley. The “Holy Supper” would begin when her grandfather would break the unleavened bread, dip it in honey and pass it around the table. The Christmas eve meal often consisted of bean soup, sauerkraut soup, and pierogies.
“Fuzzy Bob” Bosiljevac was the youngest of 11 children born on a small Pennsylvania farm to Croatian par- ents. He remembers the manger being the one decoration that stood out in his home. The large clan sat around a big dining table and always had a Christmas turkey dinner on it as well as Croatian nut bread. His Dad had a small orchard where he grew apples and grapes and Bob remembers how he always made homemade grape wine. Sadly, one year when Bob was still quite young, the Christmas table was missing Bob’s oldest brother who was killed in World War II. Still, he says, “It was a good life”.
