It's the annual Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories! I've participated the past three years (2009, 2010, and 2011),
and rather than simply re-post, I'm going to link to the older posts,
and - when applicable - post about something else that's somewhat
related.
The prompt for today is: December 15 – Holiday Happenings!
Often times December to mid-January birthdays and anniversaries get over
shadowed by the Christmas/Hanukkah/New Year holidays. So we’re going
to shine a spotlight on those family members and ancestors this time
around. Select one or more December to mid-January birthdays and/or
anniversaries on your family tree. Write a short tribute to or memory of
those birthday guys and gals and write a toast to the anniversary
couples.
My post in previous years was about my paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Florence Massmann Pape (1902-2000), who was born December 23, and my cousin Donna, who got married on January 2. This year, I'm writing about my sister-in-law, Frances Ann Gresham Beug, whose birthday is December 27.
The photo at left was taken in or before October 1945 in Washington, D.C. My husband, Mark Gresham, is about four years old, and Ann (as she is known) is less than a year old.
