Various Contributors Favorite Christmas Memories
Bag of Toys
My favorite memory of Christmas is when my children were small, someone left a bag of toys at my mothers house for them. Mother would not say who did it. To this day, I still don’t know but I have a good idea. “Thanks Rosie”

There was a time in my life, a happy time, when I was young and lived with my grandmother.
She was a tall sturdy woman; she wore a cotton dress with a clean apron every day. I remember the orange cotton stockings and black tie-up shoes, with thick heels. Her hair was gray and pulled back in a bun, where the rest of it showed some waves throughout, as though rebelling.

When I was growing up, things were different then they are now. During the ‘30s and even into the 40’s times were tough for lots of people, until the war was over.

The woman known as "Axis Sally" was actually Mildred Gillars -- born in Portland, Maine in 1900. She was an aspiring actress who ended up in Greenwich Village in the late twenties, hoping to crash the stage. When she failed to do so, she picked up again and moved to Europe to pursue a political attache with whom she'd had a casual affair. By 1934, she had settled in Berlin, where she eked out a living as a translator and dabbled at bit parts in German films.
