Memories of Grand Old Bee Bell’s fifth Christmas, 1901
I sure did feel good about getting that long letter and picture page from you boys at Christmas time. I don’t much to write about so I’ll just tell you about my fifth Christmas.
Our neighbor lived 4 miles from us and mother told me to take a small bag of popcorn balls to the boys. It was not so far if I cut thru the hog pasture. A small creek ran thru the pasture, had a small bridge across it.

Well – I was going under the bridge on a narrow trail. It was only wide enough for one boy or 1 hog. I got halfway thru when that big old sow – she went WOOF and I fell in the water and the old sow went on by. Well I tore out fast as I could run. I left the bag of popcorn on the porch and headed for home around the road.
When I got home mother thot I was sick. I had been running so hard and forgot to breathe, it just about done me out.
Well – we had a real nice time that year.
Hope you had a nice time and a happy and Jolly New Year.
This is from your Grand Old Bee Bell
