I remember making paper chains out of red and green paper for Christmas. I'm sure there were other crafts that we made at school. I know we sang Christmas carols. We weren't restricted to secular songs. We sang religious carols too. In junior high and high school I played a flute in the band. We always did a Christmas concert with a wide selection of music. I enjoyed playing Christmas music for almost an hour each day during November and December. I'm not sure what my parents or grandparents did for Christmas in school, but I imagine they had Christmas music and made decorations too.
I've kept a lot of the Christmas decorations my daughters made. Some of them are getting rather worn, but I hate to throw out the things they made. Some still work well for decorating The others will hopefully bring back good memories for them.
