Transcription
At Christmas or around that time we were issued cigarettes from the Germans. I think they were made of wood chips, they tasted that way but ya we got cigarettes. We would save up Christmas stuff or Red Cross boxes so that we could celebrate on Christmas. Ya, that’s right, we still celebrated Christmas with whatever we had and we enjoyed it. We celebrated and put on plays too. Some of them put on plays for Christmas. Ya we had a real Christmas concert one year especially. And there was good actors and whatnot. Somebody would lead it, maybe there was a school teacher, maybe they had Christmas concerts, I don’t know. Christmas always meant something to us. We didn’t go without Christmas.
