  • Notes 
    • All of my growing up years, the best Christmases were every other year , w hen Grandma Ora and Grandpa Paul came to our house for Christmas! The y wo uld come for Christmas Eve, and while I don't remember all the detai ls o f that, I remember them being very, very happy times. I know as I go t old er, Mom would have me play a few Christmas songs. I know the meal w as jus t wonderful, but I suspect the reason I don't remember it is becau se I wa s just too filled with anticipation .

      Having Grandpa & Grandma sleep over was the BEST! It was so wonderfu l t o fall asleep knowing that they were there! In the morning, I would l ay i n bed & wait to hear Dad come in - I would be so glad when the milki ng wa s done! Finally we could get up!!! We children would wait at the to p of t he stairs, while all the adults would wander around in the "Christ mas Roo m" and say things like, "Oh, it looks like Santa remembered Kell y this ye ar! And there's something for Dana, too!" etc. The waiting whil e they ass essed the situation nearly drove me crazy! Finally we were all owed to com e down, after posing for a photo on the stairs .

      Grandpa and Grandma were incredibly attentive, and were as thrilled wi t h our gifts, and our happiness, as anyone ever could be! Looking back , th ey probably knew what we were getting, but I never realized that a s a chi ld - they were too thrilled and surprized! I think Grandpa especi ally lov ed Christmas, but I think for both of them it was probably one o f their f avorite days of the year.

      I was always so sad when they went to Rand & Penny's house! I know tha t s eems selfish, but Christmas was never as much fun without them .

      In Grandpa's history, his sister Helen said this: "In our family, Paul w a s the 'Spirit of Christmas,' always so full of holiday spirit and fun ! I t was he who would wake us up before dawn on Christmas morning - whil e Mo ther and Dad sometimes slept in. I can remember Paul whispering in m y ea r early Christmas Morning, 'Helen, Helen, get up and see what Sant a broug ht!' This joy of Christmas continued with his own family when h e would b e the one to awaken his own children - and later his grandchild ren - so t hat they could see 'what Santa brought.'"

      I know he loved Christmas SO MUCH, and I always loved the story he tol d m e about when I was a tiny tot about 2 - he had a record of Julie Andr ew s singing "The Rocking Song," and he would play it for me. I would sta nd , holding on to the stereo, and when the song ended I would say, "gain , " meaning play it again. He would indulge me - it's a blessing he stil l l oves me, and Julie Andrews! Would have driven a less loving person cr azy ! I have that CD now, and play it when we set up the tree. I hope it ' s a happy memory for my children - I'm sorry Grandpa never stayed ove r wi th them for Christmas Morning!
