Christmas on the Prairie.

Here is a thought to break the monotony of 2020 and think ahead to 2021. Why not have a “Little House on the Prairie” Christmas? You could start by having your family read-aloud parts of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s novels and then brainstorm how you can celebrate Christmas like Laura's family did in the 19th century.

For example, some of the foods mother made were –

 

1.  Salt-rising bread

2.  Something known as Swedish crackers

3.  Baked beans cooked with molasses

4.  Apple pies and cookies

All that remains is your imagination! What was it like celebrating Christmas on the prairie in the 1870’s and 1880’s? However you decide to celebrate the holiday season, your friends at A.J.’s Import Garage hope that you and your family will have a safe and healthy time. A.J’s will be here to serve you in 2021. Happy holidays to one and all in the Topeka area.
