from Elaine

It’s hard for me to believe
that we have seen five Christ-
mases in Jacksboro now, as
we moved here in September
of 2008.
The first Christmas was
hard for me for two reasons:
we were new in town and still
didn’t know many people
well so I was really missing
the friends and church we’d
just left in Buffalo, Texas,
and this was also the first
Christmas that we would be
totally alone on Christmas
Day. Our son and his family
were in Japan and our daugh-
ter and her family would be
with our son-in-law’s family
in Dallas. It was a bummer of
a Christmas.
I remember being so down-
in-the-dumps that I actually
cried as I drove to the church
for the Christmas Eve service
that year, where my pastor-
husband, Dale, would stand
up in the pulpit and give a
nicey-nicey Christmas mes-
sage and we’d sing glorious
carols and I’d smile and act
all happy to be there. But I

stockings we see in maga-
zines, but it was the red, mesh
kind of stocking that Santa
gave us at our church every
ear when I was a child.

I was already running late
as I approached the intersec-
tion by Rick’s Electronics so
I was dismayed to see flash-
ing lights everywhere. Now I
was going to be delayed even
more.
I could see fire trucks. I
looked for smoke, but didn’t

anges, nuts, hard candies.
Such a treat for us children in
the 1950s.
Christmas had come to me
at Main and Archer in Jacks-
boro, Texas — a place where
minutes before, I didn’t want
to be.
At the hand of an unsus-
pecting Santa fireman, I all-
of-a-sudden knew that God
had put me in a special place,

and grandson Tommy with
his bride. It was a very good
day.
The sermon at Joplin Bap-
tist Church on Dec. 23 was
“God’s Perfect Gift!” The
text was Luke 2:8-20. The
proclamation by the angels to
the shepherds announced the
physical birth of Jesus Christ.
The shepherds heard the
good news. They believed
and obeyed by going to see
Jesus. They then shared the
good news with others.
Many met at Joplin Baptist
Church on Christmas Eve for
the annual Candlelight Ser-
vice.
The gospel account of the
physical birth of Jesus Christ
was read.
Christmas Carols were
goat sung. All left the church by
peti- candlelight as they sang “Si-
) out lent Night.” It was a glorious
Since there are no activities
up at the school for a while,
I’ll give a recount of my fam-
ily Christmas so far.
Our son, Marks and family,
arrived Saturday, Dec. 22,
from Tennessee.
We had our whole family
come over to enjoy hamburg-
ers cooked out on the grill by
Fred.
There was nary a scrap of
food left with 20 people pres-
ent!
Sunday, we all attended
church services, then drove
to Jacksboro where we en-
joyed an Italian feast at Roma
Restaurant.
Most of us brought home
leftovers and we ate those for
supper Sunday night.
During Sunday afternoon,
all the kids and many of the
adults took naps then con-
vened for games.
There were a couple of ta-
bles playing Hand and Foot,
a table playing Stock Market,
and Skip Bo.
Some of the younger folks
were playing electronic

I did, the fireman smiled and

Snow makes water which we
need.
I can remember Christ-
mases that snow covered the
ground and we celebrated by
having snow ice cream sit-
ting by the wood stove in the
living room (mama, daddy
and me).
Daddy would go outside
and dip up a dish pan of snow
and bring it into the kitchen
where mama would mix the
sugar, milk and other ingre-
dients to pour over the pretty
white snow and that was the
best snow ice cream ever.
Daddy would add another
stick of wood to the heater
in the living room and we
would eat the ice cream and
listen to mama read the story
of Jesus birth, and thank God
for the warm fire and a place
to be out of the cold.
Then mama would give me
the gift she had for me and
make me a happy little girl.
That was 75 years ago and
things have changed so much
I can hardly believe it.
Today my grand children
have cell phones in their
hands all the time, either
talking on them, or playing
games and texting. The wood
stove has changed to central
heat, and setting the thermo-
stat.
Mama is gone, and it is my
place to read the story of Je-
sus if I can get the family to
sit still long enough.
We have prayer before the
meal, but there has never
been snow ice cream.
The gifts are wrapped in pa-
per, and cost enough to have
fed Mama’s family a month
or more.
Times have changed, and
are changing every day.
Christmas Eve night Sheila
and I were invited to the Bill
and Penny Cypert home for a
good meal and visit.
The Cyperts have been my
neighbors for a number of
ways i
sure to visit in their home.
Their daughter Penny, from
Fort Worth, and son James,
from Houston were there
also.
Sunday, the youth at the
Baptist church presented a
program to celebrate the sea-
son to about forty nine peo-
ple.
It was enjoyed by all, I’m
sorry I missed it but my fami-
ly was here from Troy, Mitch-
el, Brandin, Carter, Ryan and
Taylor came on Friday night.
Carter went to the pasture as
soon as he hopped out of the
truck to look for deer, hogs
or any other wild animal he
could see. That boy loves the
outdoors.
Parker, Caden and a friend
came the day before to move
Sheila to Bowie, where she
has bought a place.

So many times, I have won-

—and thought, “Now THAT

to live in.”
Makes me proud.
