Old Christmas

This is simply a thought that I wanted to preserve - my father-in-law has mentioned "Old Christmas" over the years and I finally asked him about it. He said his parents talked about Old Christmas, but they never observed it while he was growing up. He didn't know if either of his parents had ever observed it during their childhoods or not.

But on this day, Old Christmas, January 6 (also known as Epiphany or Twelvth Night) I wanted to record the fact that Old Christmas was apparently talked about during my father-in-law's childhood in the Walnut Grove community western North Carolina.
