| Grandaddy gave me a gas can and told me I could use it to start a lawn mowing business. Then he wheeled out a go-cart! |

| I am a quilter from G.P, TX but Quitman, TX is my second home. It is a place to gather with friends several times a year to share laughs and tears with. Quitman is the best small town I know of whether it's Christmas or any other time of the year. |

| At Christmas dinner I have everyone who attends sign the tablecloth that I made special for this year and then someone is already sitting at a chair, or has a glass or plate or something I already marked and gets to take the tablecloth home with them....I just think it is an extra added little way o...

| Dad, Mom, Sis and I would scrunch into the cab of the old truck and go on a long ride on the back country roads in search of the perfect Christmas tree to cut! |

| When I was 9 or 10 years old, my grandmothers got together to plan a Christmas surprise for the whole family. Everyone had either a red flannel nightgown (my grandmothers, aunt, mom, sister, and I) or a red flannel nightshirt (my dad and my grandfather). Each one was decorated a bit differently--min...

| As a child growing up we went to our Grandmother Leopolds for holidays. We went at Christmas and some of our aunts went shopping for the different age groups. We all received the same gift. It was always cool. I still have some of those gifts even thought it was over 40 years ago.
We did the same ... MORE |

| I have lived in Fredericksburg TX all of my life. It's an historical german settlement that has been preserved and steeped in traditions. Also known as the town of steeples. The only town I know of with a mile long main street - four lanes for traffic and still enough room for angle parking. The Mar... MORE |

| The best Christmases were those when my grandparents left their farm and came into town to spend the night at my house. They did not come for an overnight stay any other time. To wake up EARLY and have Christmas together was a great time! |

| During the holidays when I was a child, my aunt would take me to the courthouse in Quitman where the library was located in those days to check out books. There were always Christmas decorations up. |

| The most unforgetable time was when it snowed in Florida for Chritmas, before moving to NC Yes SNOW
It was so wonderful but it melted before reaching the ground. The other best thing about Christmas is all the friends & family & GREAT cookies you had t eat |

| Last Christmas was the first White Cristmas I had ever experienced in my entire life. The entire family had gathered at our little home in Quitman and we had so much fun playing in the snow and watching was fun too. It was a time like never before and probably will never happen again. |

| One of my favorite memories is the year that the kids were declared old enough to help decorate the tree. We were in the age range of a precocious 4 to 7 years old. As grandpa was stringing out the lights and we were checking them to make sure each bulb worked, we hatched a plot. Why decorate a tree... MORE |

| Since my parents have retired to Kerrville, TX four years ago we try to spend as much time in the Texas Hill Country as possible. Every visit is certain to include a dozen wild deer roaming the neighborhood and stopping by their home to nibble on flowers and bushes in the front yard. What fun to wat... MORE |

| My favorite Christmas memory is Christmas Eve at Grandma's house with all my cousins aunts and uncles.

| I love the evidence of the true meaning of Christmas in our small town. The caring and sharing of all the organizations, citizens and churches is truly a blessing.

| This Christmas my children went to their In-laws instead of coming to our house and our neighbors made the most delicious dinner and company to keep us busy and not thinking about being without our children. I am very thankful to have such wonderful neighbors. |
