Roy Rogers Cap Pistols and German Chocolate Cake!
I remember one special Christmas morning, when the father and mother yawningly lit lights Christmas tree in the corner of the room, illuminating all the wonders that Santa had brought the night before. This was before television and computers and much before video games.
As if it was yesterday, like the morning light filtered through the windows, I saw a red cowboy hat and a gun Roger Roy and founded under the tree. On the other side of the tree had a tan cowboy hat and pistol set. This was for my younger brother.
According remember, that was the extent of my Christmas presents. According to today's standards was a kind of low, but our family could not have enjoyed the day. In addition to our genuine cowboy costumes, Santa Claus brought mom a new handbag, while dad got a tie. Christmas morning was wonderful!
The day however, was just beginning. After my brother and I had driven from any rogue or renegade that might have crept into our house at night, greedily ate some apples, oranges and nuts Santa had dispersed in the tree. At that time these fruits were a delicacy enjoy only on Christmas morning, and rarely was there any left for the next day.
This may appear that I am painting a picture of poverty affected families, but on the contrary, we were a little richer than most of our neighbors. Only once was the simplest and most innocent with each important gift to us. Getting just a few items at Christmas seemed to make the most precious gifts, if you can call a Roy Rogers cap gun and holster real beautiful whole.
When things started to calm down a bit and wrapping paper bags and stored in garbage containers, carefully store tapes in a box for next year, the mother began Christmas dinner. In South back then, lunch and dinner was the meal was dinner. I still wonder why the terminology has changed, it must have been the Yankee influence.
Although the feast of Thanksgiving was only a month earlier, the Christmas dinner was always a little more spectacular, though only in the candy department. There was no counting calories when I was a child, especially on the day of Christmas. In addition to the contribution of my mother, candy, my aunts always came and brought with them ridiculous amounts of sweet delicacies, all of which can be eat.
At the dinner of the house was filled with the aroma of ham, turkey, sweet potatoes and any kind of dish you can imagine. The Thanksgiving dinner was been just a warm up for the main event. Christmas was the relatives who had not seen since the funeral of Aunt Bertha came for dinner. This year was no the exception!
Mama always made the coconut cake and fruitcake. That was his specialty and not even his party would try each of them. Not Sure recipe, but she made her cake with real coconut. I remember her breaking the hard shell with a hammer, draining a glass of milk and coconut curious, she grated. No pre-packaged shredded coconut for her!
An hour before setting the table, Aunt Vida arrived with his two chocolate cakes and fudge enough to feed Rhode Island. Aunt Helen balanced a real German chocolate cake in one hand and a gallon of boiled cream in the other. These were in the center ring of our circus Christmas dinner.
While other people brought food, were not in the same class as my mother's coconut cake and my two aunts cake of chocolate and German chocolate cake. Sometimes there was some dispute as to whose was the best boiled custard. Nobody really won that argument!
Although none of us can turn back the clock, this is a time to remember the special moments of the past. Maybe this year Christmas will be a great souvenir for one of our children. It's nice to think so.
