On Thursday, December 25, a family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.S. Creech. Though the day was rough, all the children and grandchildren were there. About 10 o’clock all had arrived. Such fun to see the little folks tumbling around to tell what Santa had brought them! About 1 o’clock dinner was spread and such a nice dinner it was. Everything good to eat was thee, and such eating! Sharp jokes flew. While some finished eating, some others ate so long they decided to come back and take supper. It was such a good time. We just thanked God for blessing this family to meet again in such good spirt and good health. Mother and father were among us in enjoying these good things to eat and the many good jokes.
After dinner we went to the parlor which was beautifully decorated with holly, mistletoe and Christmas bells. Then we enjoyed some of our old hymns at the piano, talked over some of the by-gone days, and passed a few Christmas presents. About 4 o’clock all began to separate, saying it was the best Christmas they had spent in many years and wishing for many more happy reunions.
