You folks are making me homesick for the good old days of Christmas in Drew County. I grew up in Bearhouse Township on Bearhouse Creek. There was not anyone who lived within 7 or 8 miles of us. Our Christmas consisted of one toy, one apple, one orange and a few nuts for each of us. We didn't know any better and we thought this was a very good Christmas. As I've gotten older I wish we could go back to those days of a simple Christmas with family and remembering why we celebrate Christmas. Most of the people who have responded to this site, I knew many years ago. Especially Beth's parents, grandparents from both the Thurman and Wolfe families. I have a lot of fond memories of Mr. Dan and Miss Lizzie Wolfe. Wishing everyone a good Christmas, and hoping that we all put Christ back in Christmas. C.L. Jones
