Barbara Evans: “When I was born (75 years ago) my Mother’s best friend made a Christmas stocking for me.  She then made one for my sister and brother when they were born.  My Mom then took over and made stockings for each subsequent child (8 in all).  She made them for our spouses as we married.  Each of us then made them for our children.  I put up 10 in my house each Christmas when the families come for the holiday.”
