Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Mom said they used have this every Christmas morning when she was growing up.
She said Mama Halm would make them eat breakfast first before opening their Christmas packages. Mom and Aunt Betty would be busting at the seams to open their packages.
Mom also said that she and Aunt Betty would always get their Father (Harry Largent) the same thing every year, razor blades. It was always wrapped in the same little bit of paper every year.
Mom said her Daddy would always act so surprised at what he got in his package from them.
