I checked my genealogy database calendar and found the
following birthday and marriage anniversaries. I wondered how they celebrated
their birthdays and marriages on Christmas. Or was Christmas the more important
day? I always found it interesting that couples married on Christmas. Perhaps it
was because family was altogether to help them celebrate. Or perhaps it was a
day when they didn’t have to work and had time to have a wedding.
