A wee bit late but finally finished a layout for Saturday, December 5th. I didn't take any photos so I decided to do a Christmas memory. I'm hoping Michael will enjoy this as he gets older...
Journaling reads:I’m not sure how old I was but at Christmas time when I hear the “Little Drummer boy” song it reminds me of that one special Christmas Eve with my Grandmother.
We had gone to the Christmas Eve service at church. Grandma and I were driving home and listening to the “Little Drummer boy” on the radio. She was driving that huge blue car and it was a cold crisp night and the stars were shining brightly. There was an oil rig in a field and I remember commenting that with it all lit up it looked like a Christmas tree. When we got out at her house, we heard a thumping nose off in the distance at that time I thought it was the little drummer boy playing his drum for us. Grandma agreed with me and we sat and listened for a few minutes. It was so calm and beautiful. She never said any different and I love that warm memory of her, especially at Christmas time. Letting a little girl believe for a short time that there actually was a little drummer boy…pa rum pum pum pum! Thank you Grandma for a wonderful memory.

The photo of her and I was taken in May of 1966, I was close to a month old....Didn't have any photos of her and I at Christmas so I used that one...
