Hello my name is gretta lykins,When I was a child we were really poor,but we had the best christmas in the world,The way my mom decorated was wonderful,she had some store bought things,but mostly everything came from up in the woods behind our house, a real pine tree,not perfect but to us beautiful,pine branches that she hung above our window,making the whole house smell wonderful. dad would go out with a shotgun and shoot mistletoe out of a high tree,there was always christmas songs playing and mom humming along with them,while she made great smelling cakes,candies,breads,oh how I miss the good 'ol days...
