Wednesday December 25th 1935
Finished opening our presents this morning. Snowing made an ideal Christmas. Add chicken for dinner on Mother’s new dishes. I set them so she saw them when she got up. Played with our games. About 3:00 a blizzard struck. Dropped from 20 degrees to 4 degrees in about 1 and 1/2 hours. Bernard Brooks, Rosina, Mary, Walt and I went to see “A Tale of Two Cities” about 4:00. Too cold for coasting as we had planned. Had a snack at our house Walt and I went to bed about 12:00.
