This year we decided to celebrate an "old fashioned" Christmas. Students interviewed relatives about how Christmas was celebrated many years ago. Mrs. Billie Seales from the Walker County Arts Alliance came and spoke to our students about Christmas when she was a little girl and entertained us with some stories. We had fresh cut cedar trees that we decorated with handmade ornaments, silver icicles, popcorn that we strung, and paper chains. We made cards and went caroling at a local assisted living home. Mrs. Drummond's grandfather came and told us how he celebrated Christmas as a young boy. Then he, his wife, and Mrs. Drummond's mother helped us decorate gingerbread houses. We had such a fun time!
