My favorite song around the Holidays was _________________________

Did you sing songs at your place of worship? Where you ever part of a choir or children’s group that performed in front of an audience?  Do you recall if you heard your songs on the radio or the phonograph? Did you have a Hi-Fi stereo system or a portable record player? During the Holidays did any friends or relatives play the piano and you sang along, or were there any other instruments you can recall that made beautiful music around the holidays.  *Make a list of holiday song words and see if you can guess the song.

My favorite movie to watch during the holidays was ________________________

What favorite movie can you recall that only came on TV during the Holidays? Remember where you would sit to watch the movie, was the family all watching together? Was your television in the parlor or family room? Can you recall when the black and White TV turned to Color? Was your TV on a stand with rabbit ears or in a console. *Pick some quotes from famous holiday movies.

My childhood town holiday tradition was _____________________________

Did your town have a parade for the holidays? What was the “Main Street” called in your town? Was the Main Street decorated with lights or holiday sights? Were there places to shop in your town? Do you remember getting holiday gifts at a local store? Can you name some of the stores in your town that you went to shop? Was there an ice cream parlor or a soda fountain that you would visit as a child? *Write a holiday card to your childhood home address and give them some history about the house or write to your childhood home library with some interesting facts about when you grew up in that town. .
