We hooked up Joe & Queen to the bobsleighs this morning and drove down town with Aunty Alice's cream and beets Queen went fine considering it was the first time she has been hooked up to anything. Frank got home at noon and his Christmas holidays have begun. He and I husked some corn this morning and about five o'clock Dad. & I & the baby drove Joe & Ginger down to the cutter. Tonight I went down town and stayed down at Aunty Alice's all night. Aunty left for Toronto this morning to stay with Roy for Christmas week. Walter & Elsie are coming there tomorrow but sleighing not good. Snowed most of day.
