Cold – sunny – scarcely a trace of snow – to city line for green vegetables and a ball-point pen for Bertha –
All day on decorations – setting up tree, etc. –
Mid – P.M. – telephone call from Sally that she & Red & baby were getting a ride as far as Batavia, and would be able to spend [part] of Christmas day with us.
Evening- Mart & Hank down – trimming tree. Lunch – (brown bread cream cheese spread & coffee etc.)
C & A to station to meet Sally – talk until after two. Baby put in “davenport-pen” – showed no signs of being tired – laugh and played the whole time.
