KENTUCKY CHRISTMAS A Kentucky Christmas is the best we celebrate the entire week, family comes from far and near and search for a place to sleep. The children are bedded down on the floor we hardly have room to walk, there is always someone up in the night if you can't sleep and just need to talk. We have a special place in the kitchen to share a secret or to tell a joke, It's also the place to find a snack or a place to have a smoke. We start early on Christmas Eve with food like biscuits and country ham, eggnog mixed with a little rum and a cake made with blackberry jam. Our grandson makes this night very special as he plays for us Christmas songs, the little ones have a hard time sitting still so we don't make them wait for long. Soon it's time to open the presents the paper will be almost knee deep, the sounds of many toys roar in the night and the children are hard to get to sleep. But we manage to get them all bedded down with promises of a visit from Old Saint Nick, another Kentucky Christmas is upon us and we pray the falling snow will stick. |
