Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

December 24, 1912 - Tuesday

24 - Did not get up for breakfast or, I am ashamed to say, for lunch either. Muz brought me home some food and I ate it in bed. I went out with Mae after supper and we delivered our presents. I gave mine to Mae, Dan, Edna and Mabel. Mae gave me one but I did not open it. I went into Norma's room after she had gone to bed and told her stories. Ruth did not go to bed till quite late. I have given Mrs. Munroe a box of dominoes for Norma and a book for Ruth. Hope they will like them. Muz covered the table with crépe paper and then put on my presents and covered them up. Then I put hers on the other side and covered them up and we went to bed.
