Christmas Memories
Mckenna Crase

Open presents on Christmas Eve
Then wait to capture midnight dreams
Waiting for Santa and Rudolph to come
Warm gingerbread cookies fill you nose on Christmas Day
Blankets of snow and warm smiles greet your eyes
Christmas lights hang from the sky
Go to Church service to praise the Lord
Waiting for more Family memories to come!

Richard Rodrigues shows the negative impact of a newly wealthy family, and the change in the dynamic that the material success has brought.

    In colonial times Christmas was frowned upon in New England and observed mostly as a private feast in mid-Atlantic and Southern colonies. The strait-laced New England Puritans, partially motivated by anti-Catholic sentiment, banned Christmas in 1659 under the guise that the holiday was pagan and that it encouraged decadence.

Christmas harkens back to the ancient Roman celebration of the Saturnalia, a day in which all Romans, Emperor and slave, addressed each other on a first name basis. Christmas was not celebrated by colonial Puritans, Presbyterians, Baptists and Quakers but it was observed by Anglicans, Dutch Reformed, Lutherans and Catholics.…
