Merry Christmas

[southernlady]

And for many of us southerners, CHRISTMAS GIFT! https://gardenandgun.com/articles/christmas-gift-the-roots-of-a-southern-holiday-saying/
For me, this tradition was alive and well on my daddy’s side of the family. And even my daddy didn’t know where/when it appeared. Yes, I grew up in Upstate SC as did my daddy’s family. And I’d exasperate my daddy when he would call. Caller ID made a big difference. I taught my daughters but the tradition isn’t getting passed down to the grands. Caught the daughter on FaceTime this morning.

I'd never heard of it either so thanks for telling us, Liz. it's the kind of thing I learn from listening to the Way With Words podcast or reading their facebook page.
