A camel in Antrim County

Treasures come to me through this blog.  I feel rich every time I open a new letter from Katy or Katherine or Babs or Donna or Beth . . .

Today Katy Edwards Newman writes:  Somewhere in the back of my memory, there was a camel in our barn (not surprising considering my mother’s bent). I searched for said camel yesterday in one of the stalls/mangers and lo and behold!! there was not only a camel but Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, a King, a shepherd, a wise man, 2 camels a donkey, some sheep and an angel. I washed their sweet faces with clean snow, shared some of the horses straw bedding and created AWAY IN THE MANGER. What joy!! My mother knew. MERRY CHRISTMAS ELIZABETH EDWARDS!

Merry Christmas Edna Mae Sell. Merry Christmas Margaret Ann Bretz. Merry Christmas Kajsa Danielsdotter . . .  And a Merry Christmas to your mother, too. She knows.
