Our Eve Before Christmas : Palmetto Publishing : 9798822906372 : 29 Nov 2022 : This third book is a rendition of the classic children's story, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. My book, Our Eve Before Christmas, helps me to remember my childhood Christmases full of love, laughter and family. There was always that stranger, that none of us kids knew, but our parents and grandparents knew no strangers. I grew up in a small community. I attended the Christmas program at the church - where I would receive fruit bags not baskets - and I was always part of the Christmas play. My Mom would always buy that 'what-if' gift. What if someone dropped by unexpectedly? She wanted to make sure no one felt left out. Christmas mornings always came early. We went from house to house exchanging gifts, exchanging food and sharing love. I grew up in an environment that was always about the family. I wouldn't exist without the family foundation that I was blessed with in SC. Miracles & Blessings Rita
