Christmas was always a wonderful time for us. We frequently spent Christmas with parents or other relatives. Sometimes we would spend Christmas with a family that wished to share the holidays in a special with some of the children. We enjoyed parties and outings sponsored by various fraternities and sororities from area universities. We enjoyed these as much for the events as for any presents we might have been given. We held Christmas plays and participated in caroling. Our chapel had a large nativity scene to the left of the sanctuary area. This added a wonderful atmosphere to special services.
But my most special memory was looking out the window next to my bed. From the window I could see the tower for WRAL television station in the distance. Each year they covered the tower with Christmas lights and placed a large bright star at the top. This was a wonderful sight that I looked for each year. It marked the official beginning of the season.
