Cloudy 20's, light snow flurries in pm. Clifton worked at Oneonta, David at National Guard. Girls did house work and I winterized kitchen and living room windows and fixed Christmas tree for outside. Sue made a wreath for front door. Gilbert here in pm. Mother called from Middleburgh in pm.
Comment: Lots of holiday preparation...the winterization involved using plastic sheeting to cover the window to prevent drafts...I, as a "tween ager," sleeping on a mattress in the attic before it was finished off, the snow would blow in through the cracks around the windows and in the siding and cover the bed and floor....this is a picture of the attic room after it was finished.....

it sure looks different from when we used to pee out that window on a cold winters night
