Let's see. I spent half the 50's in Venezuela, I don't remember celebrating Christmas there, no tree or Santa, and it was summer there in December. The other half of the 50's was spent in the US and we started using the tree and giving presents. I remember going to mass on Christmas eve and using my allowance and my part-time job pay working at the hospital cafeteria to buy presents. The stores were always crowded, which I hated, but it also added to the Christmas character. I have no vivid memories of it all, just general remembrances.
