I was feeling sentimental and thinking about Christmas when I was a kid . I remembered a big white bowl filled with tangerines, grapes and mixed nuts in the shell. I know we had fruit other times in the year m but that bowl seemed so special. Good memory. 🎄

As a little girl, I remember fruit and nuts in our stockings.

Yes, I remember the fruit and a bowl of nuts with the old fashion nut cracker. I also remember roasting chestnuts.

I have the same memory regarding fruit at the holidays.
Normally, we had just apples and oranges...but at the holidays, mom would stop at the Italian markets in St. Louis near where she worked. She would get grapes, tangerines and even a pomegranate. Very exotic for the time, and no where near as large as the ones we see in the stores now.
I was given the task of arranging the fruit on a lovely platter. It was always something I loved doing.
We also had nuts in their shells which were ceremoniously cracked with a special little nutcracking squirrel
Such nice memories!

I remember the same wooden bowl, ever year filled with nuts and the nutcracker in the bowl. I did the same thing for a few years at Christmas but they did not get eaten so stopped....good memory!! We would get oranges in our stocking.

Yes to the tangerine! Following the Christmas Eve 7:00 pm service, Sunday School kids were sent home with a bag of goodies - containing mostly peanuts and hard candy, but also a few pieces of chocolate and one tangerine. It was a treat - the only time of the year we saw tangerines! Thanks for the memories.
