Tue, Dec 9, 1947: tree decorated

"Darling,
"As the sunrise spreads over the eastern sky, I heaved myself out of bed to write to you.  As I listen to the strains of 'Feed Your Hens Nutrena,' I take pen in hand & recline on the daybed with paper...
"We finally got our tree decorated yesterday noon & last evening I got inspired in view of the fact that Emma Wilson was to meet there, & clean up the parlors & decorated the top of the piano with Christmas cheer."

--Letter from my mother, Winfield, Kans., to my father, Protection, Kans., Tuesday, December 9, 1947.
