INA'S CHRISTMAS, 1934 -- DAY 21
Christmas morning found me
enjoying a good nap when Dad called “Merry Christmas.” I rose tardily to begin
my 1934 Christmas. Dad went to “feed the chores” and I began breakfast:
biscuits and sausage for him; beefsteak, cream gravy, and light bread for me.
We also had grapefruit, cereal, cranberries, and honey oranges. I gave Dick [the
dog] a generous breakfast of meat scraps, etc., and the cats also with liver to
top it off and wished them all a “Merry Christmas.” I then fell to work and was
all done and dressed and fixing my apples for salad when the guests came. Others
helped me light the tree and arrange seats. It looked very pretty and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves.

That’s a lot of breakfast food!
Yes -- she basically fixed two breakfasts on her woodstove, and apparently she did it uncomplainingly. I'd have told Grandpa that he would eat what I eat and supplement with the extras! If that didn't fly, I would have done something to bring the two meals closer together. And of course, they didn't have the extras all the time.
