We couldn’t just slap frosting on each one. Each Scookie was its own masterpiece with bulbs on the Christmas trees and a red nose on Rudolph. Mom took great pride in the family cookies that we would create and then distribute to friends and family. This tradition continues today, still led by our vibrant 80-year-old mom!

This is no easy production—now that there are 30 of us. O Since grandchildren are now a part of this family, a visit from Santa has become a part of this tradition. The first year Santa came, he asked each child, “What do you want Santa to bring you this year?” And, the first child answered SOCKS! Santa got a big chuckle out of this, so all the following children on Santa’s lap also said socks! The next Christmas, Santa had a pair of socks for each child and we are forever e are ‘real tree’ lovers. known to Santa as We believe that the “The Sock Family.” Wreal thing is best for our home—so making a big deal out of Janet Kruder picking out the tree has been a tradition for 36 years!

We make pasta and homemade bread, drink a little wine and Todd, Victoria & Beth Meadows enjoy the family. It’s a great tradition.

Christmas dinner with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, squash and cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie with ice cream. Deb Alspach dvent is a season of prepartion observed by Catholics for centuries. Beginning four Sundays before Christmas, it is a time to prepare one’s heart for the Abirth of the Savior. Each Sunday, another candle is lit—purple, purple, pink, purple. Pink is lit on Gaudete Sunday, a day of joy, knowing Christmas is so close. Another way Jim and I’d prepare—back in the days before kids—was to gather with friends late on Christmas Eve for a coffee party, prior to attending Midnight Mass. I looked forward to picking out some exotic or seasonal flavor to help us stay awake and welcome in the Christmas season. Lori Stevenson MARION COMMUNITY FOUNDATION|740.387.9704|3 The holidays are a special time to celebrate and reflect on the past year, while looking forward and planning for the coming year. This time of year is one of my favorite times, because we are able to enjoy time with our family and friends and we are also reminded of the message of humility and generosity towards each other. As 2020 comes to a close, I extend my warmest wishes for a joyous holiday season and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

  • William Prince
    William Prince by Ted A Griffin Table Of Contents Register Report for William Prince 1 Kinship Report for William Prince 76 Index 102 ii Register Report for William Prince Generation 1 1. WILLIAM1 PRINCE was born about 1788 in Candys Creek, Mcminniville, Tennessee, USA. He died in 1850 in Lawrence, Kentucky, United States. He married (1) LAURIE FYFFE in 1798. He married (2) RACHEL MURPHY about 1810 in Russell, Virginia, USA. She was born about 1784 in Tennessee, USA. She died in Lawrence, Kentucky, United States. Notes for William Prince: We know that William Prince was named William D. Prince as the 1850 census of Habersham county shows this, and also the 1850 delinquent tax list of Habersham shows the same name. The 1850 Murray county GA census shows William enumerated without his middle initial, but there is no doubt it is the same family (with a few unsurprising discrepancys) that appears in 1850 Habersham. As Joseph Prince owned land in Murray county GA in 1850, it is certainly likely that William was residing on that land once he left Habersham. (Phil Prince <[email protected]>) Notes for Laurie Fyffe: There is no evidence that this is correct. It is most likely that Laurie Fyffe married some other William Prince. Notes for Rachel Murphy: Rachel filed for divorce on Dec 21, 1835 stating that she and William had moved back to Lawrence Co. abt 1828 and in 1829 he had deserted her and taken up with Arty Mullins. (According to my Great Aunt Emma Prince Thompson, Carter Prince's Grandmother was a Gregor.

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.
