Memories Shared by Margie Miller, 2009

Candlelight Christmas
(click on link to view the magazine article)

Click on the link above to see what the old fashioned Christmas with real candles was like in the old days in North Dakota. Marge Miller is married to Don Miller, 2nd cousin of the Maas kids.  The Maas farm is two and on-half miles from the Miller farm and we had many fun times together.  We all did go to church Christmas Eve in the horse drawn sleigh (no jingle bells but the clop, clop of the horses hooves and the sound of the harnesses is still vivid in my memory.)  What a joy it was to receive the bags filled with nuts, peanuts, hard candy, and an orange after we had sung Christmas hymns and recited our memorized verses. Thanks, Marge, for your memories!  And a Merry and Blessed Christmas everyone.

Dennis
