Tales of the Past!

The latest prompt I have done for Shimelle's JYC is all about Christmas Past. I have so many great memories of Christmas' past that it's almost impossible for me to pick just one. I came across the old black & white photo on this layout a month or so ago and it reminded me of how much fun these Gibson gatherings used to be. This truly is a by gone era for me - but oh what memories!




Products Used: Bazille cardstock; Figgy Pudding paper; Daisy D rubon; MM tag & brad.

One of my favorite events from Christmas’ past was the annual Gibson Christmas Party. Each year one family hosted and the party was always held the Sunday before Christmas and all 5 of the Gibson siblings and their families were expected to attend. This party was at my house in Lancaster most likely in 1958, the first year my parents lived in the house on H-12. I was the baby of the group and obviously very excited about the new baby doll I found under the tree. As the years went on and the siblings passed away the cousins weren’t good about keeping this annual event going. I hope to one day hold this party again so the next generation can have the experience.
