Christmas tree at home.

Pulled out at 7:30 and wasn’t half as thrilled as I usually am on Christmas. Elder Thorderson and I visited Saints until eleven. We then went over to President Bunting’s place and spent the rest of the day going to the show in the evening. I had one of the most enjoyable days that was possible to have without my darling wife and folks. Gosh, how I did miss them. We had an enormous dinner and all the candy and nuts we wanted after that. Boy, I ate till I felt like a pollywag. At 8 we went to the show and saw John McCormick in “Song of My Heart.” Oh! How I would have like to had my Billy, but I didn’t so I enjoyed myself the best I could without her. Returned home and sunk in the mattress at 11:00 and thus ended my first Xmas away from home.
