All of my young memories of Drew County are good, but Christmas was such a time of anticipation. At that young age, everything was awe-inspiring...from the Christmas lights around the "square" to listening for Santa's bells (I KNOW I heard them once!) The tradition of leaving one of my own socks for Santa to fill, carried over to my children, and grandchildren. Oh, now I fill the pretty "fake" stockings to hang on the mantle...but it was hard for me to let my sock that Santa filled go into the wash tub! I remember holding the saucer, thinking "gosh, Santa actually ate from this." Drew County is a wonderful memory in itself, and the older I get, the more I love it. Everything was a miracle then, in my young eyes, and today, my everyday life is filled with real miracles . So, Merry Christmas to all of you, and Thank God for sending his Son...the greatest Miracle of them all. Martha (Graves) Kirby
