Christmas Eve 1952
Account of an early Watson Christmas written by Elma Underwood Easterly. She was borm in 1885, in Pine Grove, and the family moved to Watson when she was 5 years old. She was one of 11 children of John Zachary and Rebecca Hill Underwood. Her twin sister was Ethel Underwood Hancock.
"We enjoyed Christmas. It was so different from today (1962). I well remember our first Christmas tree, held in Live Oak Church. Brother Walter cut a large Holly tree filled with red berries and put it up in the church. Sister Posie helped him decorate it with strings of popcorn, little candles, and tinsel. Oh! It looked so pretty when lighted. We were kept out of hearing until dark enough to light the candles and Santa Claus came. Our eyes were amazed when we were let in to see Santa and receive our gifts he had for us.
At home, my Father had the boys build big bonfires out on the lawn. On Christmas Eve we were allowed to play around the bonfire until 9:30pm when we were called in for bed so Santa Claus could come. This group included my two brothers Willie and Clarence, my sister Ethel and myself. Santa would leave us an orange, a big red apple, nuts, candy, bunch of raisins and always a China Doll in the top of our stocking. Christmas' in those days were for the children. The adults enjoyed the delicious dinner. We always had turkey for Mother raised her own turkeys. She so often dressed one and would send it to a sick person or some poor shut-in not able to fix a dinner. It gave her joy to be able to do for others. i really believe children were happier and more contented than now. We didn't expect much and were happy with what we received."
