    3. This is by my second cousin who is not online at this time but will be after the first of the year. The high chair that she speaks of has been in our family for almost 100 years and I just gave to her last month.

My Memorable Christmas by Paula (Forbes) Swartsfager December 9, 2004 I remember one year, (1970�s) not sure exactly but Terry (her brother) came home on leave from the Marines. Mother knew he was coming and said that the tree wouldn�t go up until he came home. We waited for days, or should I say, I waited! Finally Christmas Eve he gets home. We went to the YWCA or YMCA down the road anyway. Well they didn�t have too many left. This is Christmas Eve mind you, so there isn�t to many so called good ones left. We looked at all of then and decided on �Charlie Brown�. It was so sad looking and small, you knew no one would buy it. But I wanted it, I thought it was the most beautiful tree in the world. I had Terry home from the Marines, and Santa was good to me. Another was my daughter Hanna wanted a cabbage patch doll. She was very specific about it too. It had to have Blonde hair (curly) blue eyes, and the most difficult of all was, it had to have her name in the dolls name. Her first name mind you would have been easier, beings its Ann. I looked at every store I could find, finally at all places Service Merchandise had one named Fayette Hannah and she had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. What a pain that was, but to see the look on her face Christmas morning was so very well worth it I have that doll today, sitting on my Grandma Forbes and my Auntie Mary�s high chair. It�s great. I hope everyone has a Healthy and Happy Holiday.
