I have been ever so humbled as I have read of pioneer Christmases past. Here is another journal entry from a child who spent her Christmas at Hole in the Rock...

"It was here at Hole in The Rock that we spent our first Christmas holidays. We children had no place only on the wagon wheels to hang our stockings. Nevertheless, old St. Nicholas visited us with parched corn and some cookies which were baked in the dutch ovens. However everybody was happy. We spent most of the day gathering sagebrush to build fires at night to dance by. It was not of course on waxed floors, nor wearing various colored pumps, but it was on the sand rocks and some were barefooted. Brother Charles E. Walton was the orchestra. Sometimes he played the violin and other times the cornet." -Mary Jane Perkins Wilson; 25 December 1880
