Friday, December 24, 1965 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Friday, December 24, 1965
Cloudy and warm 50.  We cleaned up from Christmas the night before.  Gerald and Mary Ann and us went to LaVerne's and Roberta's about noon.  Gerald and Mary Ann left about 330 pm for Gloversville.  We were alone all evening.
Comment:  No white Christmas that year.....sometime over that holiday period we probably watched the debut of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" which aired first in 1965..... "Initially sponsored by Coca-Cola, the special debuted on CBS in 1965, and has been aired in the USA during the Christmas season every year since: on CBS through 2000, and on ABC since 2001. Long an annual telecast, the special is now shown at least twice during the weeks leading up to Christmas. The special has been honored with both an Emmy and Peabody Award."...Wikipedia...I wonder if that's how Mom and Dad spent the evening??

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
