At Mom's Funeral 5 monthes ago we told of how dad fought with her because he did not wish to celebrate Christmas holiday) . Momma won and she said come on kids and we walked a mile or so to the woods in Kerrvile Texas and she would chop down the "best tree" she could find and dragged it home with us following behind and she would let us decorate it the best way we could (we were very poor) we had a field day and as she was told "no"again she said awwww hell no and she would stand at the salvation army for hours and ask for toys for her children and I remember her doing her best to wrap them just like they were new ! Back then the salvation army only gave used toys mostly, that was early 60's, OH but there was one dollor plastic doll (same one) I got every year I will never forget the smell of the plastic. Mom, she was a warrior and she fought for our right to celebrate Christmas and she took us to church and even though dad was there he was huffing mad !! I gave in her memory this year
