We all stayed home this afternoon but Dick who was gone till tea-time downtown. I read most of the afternoon. Aunty got tea and Enah went down about five to go to her sister's to tea. Dad went down after tea to church to come home with Enah. Aunty read to us after supper and we worked at puzzles & things. A very nice mild day but very muddy.

Christmas Day

Dad did all the chores this morning and cut enoug wood to last all day. We all went down to church at eleven. After church Aunty and I went up and called for Cousin Clare who came over with us and stayed all day and is going to stay al night. All of Huby's family came over to dinner which we had about three o'clock and where I increased my waist measure nearly to bust measure. on the turkey plum pudding, mince pie and home-made candy. Then we got the presents. We were all led to believe that there would be no presents this year, but I did not notice any difference. I got a good many {things?} to numerous to mention. We four boys went down about half past five after the mail and Quint did not come back with us. We met Huby and the rest of his family homeward bound on our way back. We spent the evening by admiring presents and music etc. thus ending the first Christmas on the Farm Very mild and muddy Xmas.
