First Christmas

We have gathered the stories from five people who talk about a "first" Christmas. Fr. Morgan Silbaugh tells of his first sermon. Ann Howard remembers her first sober Christmas. Jenny Spinner tells of her first vegetarian Christmas. Michael Alvear tells of his first Christmas in the United States. And Clea Simon shares the first Christmas after her father died.
