    I gre up in a very poor family in the early sixties and my dad passed away when i was 7. I can remember always going to bed early on xmas eve and hanging a sock over the fireplace, waking up on xmas morning to see my sock full of goodies. Nuts, satsumas, etc. I was always glad to get these presents and we were always gratefull for whatever we got. Ialso think that in todays world if we used socks for the kids today they would think it was a trick or their parents just playing around. Now i am much older i often think like Scrooge when he gors back in time to visit his school in the past etc. Hard times i had but looking at it today it wasnt so bad. We always carried on. Thank you again Kevin

      Beautiful comment. I agree with you. The fact that we're here now looking back, we can appreciate that we had *something* rather than nothing.

      It is easier to accept what life throws at you when you can get past hardships like this. I had a similar childhood and I was always happy with what my parents could provide, and I understood why they couldn't provide more. To this day I still stress over spending money on large purchases. Even when the item is a tool that will pay for itself, I have to justify to myself that I really need it. In fact I still lament purchases that I didn't make in the past.
      Growing up poor made me a better person.
      I have a friend who struggles because she has to do more for her children than was done for her as a child. She still Buys her adult children expensive Christmas gifts at the expense of not paying bills or maintaining her vehicle that she relies on for her 40 mile daily work commute. She had a good childhood, though she doesn't see it that way. She's more of a materialistic person, growing up in the 80's and 90's she had very nice clothes, just not the designer brands. I wanted nice things too and when I got my first job I bought my first pair of Reebok's, because even withmy own job I couldn't afford Nike.

    My mom encouraged me to tack a winter sock on the top edge of the wainscoting in our living room. (We didn't have a fireplace, but we did have gas grates, which were, of course, not good places to hang "stockings" from!) It was a nice surprise on Christmas morning to find tangerines or clementines, walnuts and pecans, and a small trinket from Woolworth's, such as a magnet set shaped like circus animals and clowns. Even as a four year old, I loved being at the Christmas Eve service at our beautifully greened and decorated church. Wishing you and your folks a merry and blessed Christmas!

      I got some little magnets that looked like scotty dogs, one white and one black! My brother got a tiny metal car with rubber wheels, and we always got a mix of nuts and either an apple or an orange. For little kids that was still really fun!

    In Finnish words "christmas" (joulu) and "party" (juhla) both come from the word "Jule", so it's kinda funny to me when we have big communal christmas parties it's "joulujuhla" which is like "jule-jule".
    Nowadays in Finland it's traditional to prepare a big big pork in the oven night before christmas eve for the christmas eve dinner and it's so big that everyone can go and get a piece any time they feel there's some opening in the stomach through the holidays. It's only 100-150 years old tradition though after people got more wealthy (nowadays most of the christmas pork comes fom Denmark and salmon from Norway), before the christmas eve dinner was fish dishes from local lake and sea fish species and preserved foods, both with influences from Swedish and Russian cousines and those foods carry on to this day, though slowly losing ground.

      My parents in the Midwestern US often speak of the great Blizzard of 1978. They said it was a complete white out. Could barely see your hand in front of your face.
      When I was a kid one of the worst snow storms in my lifetime occurred when I was about 12 or 13. It was so bad, they canceled all holiday school productions and we got out of school a few days early for Winter break.

    Today on the Solcitice were taking Donny out to gather greenery like ivy, holy, and evergreen and we decorate the whole house with it. Were also having some friends over for dinner and as Terry Pratchett fans, we are calling it Hogswatch :D
    My own reenactment group puts on a feast every year in January; Winter Revel and a friend of mine is in charge of it and she has recruited me for the team and guess what? the Yule Log is something i am in charge of becuase of the woods we have. Besides measuring it, the log also has to be green and recently cut. Not just so it burns slower but in the pagan context it has to have the sap of life still within it so you bring that new life and new spring into your home.
    I hope you, Julie and Rupurt all have a very Merry Christmas. I know Donny, as the most recent baby in my family, is going to be getting so much candy and so much love he will be on a sugar crash till after New Years. 😂

    The nuts and fruit was a big thing in the American south to. My aunt that was born in 1921 said it was a tradition that went back to her grandparents in the family at least from the storys she had heard.
    And the oranges and Satsuma was a really big deal. And my family been in Florida on that side since the early 1800s.

    Thank you for this contemplation of Christmas traditions. So entertaining, and satisfying for us history buffs.🙂
    I think I'm especially fond of the story about Christmas stockings. Very heartwarming.❤
    Of course, I can't leave out how special people gathering together is. How Christmas tradition distinctly includes that. As it should.❤️
    Loved your mischievous laugh when explaining what the "coffin" part of the pastry is! That, when buried in one, WE are the coffin!😜
    Just this morning I read a short article about how the British royals (who I love) celebrate their Christmas, and it sounds like their traditions pick up from the German side of their heritage.
    I've been to one midnight mass. I'm a non-denominational Christian and we're tucked in at home on Christmas Eve. One year I went to a Lutheran Church for theirs. Boy, what an event! Awe inspiring and beautiful!

      You are so full of crap Connie, American Christians are the ones hounding everyone you don't like because you pretend to care what the Bible says but only follow the rules you happen to like, and I bet if Kevin had read your full comment he would not have you on a campfire listening to his stories because he's an actual decent human being

      Yes! I completely agree with you. I live in California. It bummed me out when Christmas became less and less in our schools. And you aren't kidding. Even satanism gets allowed.😤

      @@cindys.9688 It's terrible, isn't it, that other people might possibly believe in something different to you, and religious freedom means that your religion isn't allowed to dominate all aspects of society. The fact that you used to be able to get away with unconstitutional acts in schools makes you feel persecuted today. You wouldn't feel like this now if your ancestors hadn't broken the law.

    Grew up in 1960s America. We got nuts in their shells ( walnut, pecans, hazel nuts, brazil , almonds), tangerines or oranges, apple and hard candy in our stockings. It was special to get citrus fruits.
