Some holiday traditions
are too delicious to change

Christmas is not only the time
when family members gather to
celebrate the birth of Christ, but
also a time to commemorate
family traditions.
From all across the country,
children will return “home”
during the holiday season to
visit parents, grandparents, aunts
and uncles. For many families,
the gathering will consist of
their once-a-year fellowship
that includes a prayer, the best
meal of the year, gift giving, and
enjoying the decorations and joy
that goes with the season.
For children the gifts are often
the high point of the day, but for
most adults the food rates pretty
high.
Not so many years ago, Christmas fare on most Tidewater
Virginia tables might be the
largest smoked or salt-cured ham
in the smokehouse, salt-herring
with cornbread and molasses, a
wild turkey, a baked rockfish, or
Rappahannock River oysters—
raw, baked or fried. Whatever,
the food it would melt in your
mouth.
Today, many folks carry on
holiday food traditions and some
of the more modern dishes will
also melt in your mouth. Every
Christmas, Peggy Baughan of
Remlik said Christmas morning
breakfast at her brother’s always
includes oyster stew. The main
family meal is always in the evening and it includes turkey, ham
and fried oysters. The favorite
dessert is always her mother’s Mrs. Julie Haynes and her famous peanut brittle made with raw
(See Traditions, page B2)
peanuts.

Christmas Friends to deliver gifts Saturday; fund at $13,691
Christmas Friends got a boost
this week with $6,312.50 in
donations and the fund now
totals $13,691.10.
Christmas Friends is in its 19th
year of helping the less fortunate
of Middlesex County during the
holidays. The annual gift-giving
program is co-sponsored by
the Southside Sentinel and the
Middlesex County Department
of Social Services. Through the
generosity of the community
donors and the work of more
than 100 volunteers, Christmas
Friends Inc. delivers gifts and
needed items to needy children
and elderly citizens who qualify.
This year’s Christmas Friends
goal is to raise $20,000, the
same as the past three years,
said Christmas Friends president
Fred Gaskins. Last year the community surpassed the goal and
donated $24,176. This allowed
the amount allotted for each
recipient to be increased this
year, said Gaskins.
Plenty of persons have already
volunteered to shopped the gifts
and wrap them. Other are ready
to deliver gifts this Saturday.
Recipients should plan to have
someone home to accept the
gifts.
Donations should be made
payable to Christmas Friends
Inc., c/o Southside Sentinel, P.O.
Box 549, Urbanna, VA 23175.
Contributors will be recognized as Christmas Friends and
their donations will be listed in
the Southside Sentinel. Contributors who wish to remain
anonymous should request that
their donations be listed as such.
Memorial contributions will also
be acknowledged.

coconut pie.
Julie Burwood of Lancaster
goes to her parents’ house every
year for Christmas day. Her
mother makes cinnamon rolls
with bread dough, pecans and
brown sugar and lots of butter,
which she starts baking in the
morning. The recipe was handed
down through her family. Family
members open presents while the
rolls are baking. The entire house
smells of cinnamon and once
presents are opened, the family
enjoys the rolls.
At dinnertime, around 3 p.m.,
Burwood’s father makes pea
and cheese salad with cold peas,
chunks of cheddar cheese, sweet
pickles and a homemade dressing
concoction with a mayonnaise
base. The entire family takes
small portions while her father
dishes up a heaping mound.
Liz Delmer of Deltaville
remembers some of her old family
traditions. The Bristow family
would go to the Norton home
on Lover’s Lane in Deltaville
for Christmas. Her grandparents
usually raised a Christmas turkey
that was slaughtered for the day.
They also had country ham out of
the smokehouse, canned sweet
potatoes, turnip greens cooked
in bacon grease, hot rolls, corn
pudding, homemade fruitcake,
coconut and chocolate cake, and
sweet potato pie.
“I couldn’t wait for the day
I was big enough to eat at the
big table because the children’s
table was always served last,”
said Mrs. Delmer. “Everybody
in the family came home for
Christmas and I couldn’t wait to
get to grandmother’s on Christmas day.”
For breakfast at her home, Mrs.
Delmer’s mother made oyster
stew, hot biscuits and homemade
sausage, and served grapefruit.
“Grapefruit was a special treat
when I was a child,” she said.
Carstella West of Wake said
she makes fruitcakes every year
for Christmas. Her daughter
recently came down from Maryland just to help and carry on
the tradition. They made eight
fruitcakes.
Mrs. West learned to make
cakes on an old wood-burning
cook stove at her great-aunt’s
house in Wake. “My great-aunt
taught me how to make them
and the key is cooking them for
a long time.” She noted that her
great-aunt would let them cook
on a woodstove for three hours.
Julie Haynes of Saluda makes
peanut brittle every year for
Christmas. She got the recipe
six years ago from a friend who
learned to make it from Mrs.
Irwin Fisher, whose husband was
a former minister at New Hope
United Methodist Church.

(continued from page B1)
The interesting thing about
Mrs. Haynes’ peanut brittle
is that she has to make it on
sunny days where there is little
moisture in the air. “When I first
started making it, I lost several
batches because I tried to make
it on rainy days,” she explained.
“I make it for all my children
and grandchildren and they all
love it.”
Ronnie and Cathy Russell
of Water View always go to
Urbanna to spend Christmas
evening at the home of Catherine
and Dick Murray. “Dick always
fixes his famous “oyster stew,”
said Ronnie. “I don’t know what
it is but no one can fix oyster
stew like Dick,” he said. “Catherine tries sometimes, but it just
doesn’t taste like Dick’s..” Cathy
and Catherine are cousins.
Bill Hight of Urbanna fondly
remembers Elizabeth Bristow’s
annual “Sweet Supper” on
Christmas night. Mrs. Nellie
Bristow started the tradition in
the late 1800s and Mrs. Bristow
carried on the tradition into the
1980s. The Bristows owned
Bristow’s Store and lived on
Watling Street.
“She would have everything
you could think of that was
sweet,” said Hight. “She had
sweet potato, chocolate and
apple pies, homemade candy and
cookies, and sweet punch. It was
all homemade and old fashion.”
B.B. Fritter of Urbanna recalls
that her mother, Mrs. May
Baker, always made eggnog,
dark fruitcake, tomato aspic and
ambrosia for Christmas. Tomato
aspic is a jam that is made into a
congealed salad, and ambrosia is
a concoction of oranges, grapefruit, pineapple and other fruits.
Legend has it that Greek and
Roman gods ate ambrosia, said
Mrs. Fritter.
Margie Hall of Urbanna recalls
that her grandmother and mother
always made wine jelly and
homemade custard during the
holiday season. The wine jelly
was made from Irish Rose wine.
“My mother always used to say
Irish Rose wine didn’t taste good
at all from the bottle, but it made
great wine jelly.”
For many, many others in the
Middlesex area, Christmas food
is a reminder of the special gifts
that come with the spirit of the
season, and it often brings back
wonderful memories.
We often meet by accident, but we’re
always glad to know you’re there.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Dear Santa,
I’ve been a really good girl
this year, and I help Mommy and
Daddy with the twins ALOT. For
Christmas this year, I would like
a pink LeapPad, some books,
some dvd’s, and some surprises.
I also want a plane ticket to NY
to go see my Uncle Ricky and
Titi, and my cousins-Mathew,
Samantha and Christian, so that
I can give them their presents.
Or can you just take me there on
your sleigh?
PLEASE bring the babies,
Catherine and Chase, some surprises and toys, too, so that they
leave my stuff alone. Oh, and a
big bone for Zekey, my dog. He’s
been a good boy, too.
Hugs and Kisses.
Love, Kiera Richards, 4
Bavon (Mathews County)
P.S. Your cookies and milk will
be in the dining room on my little
table, with a snack for Rudolph
and a toothbrush for Hermie the
elf-dentist.
* * * * *
Dear Santa,
I like you. I’ve been a good
boy this year and I really want to
see your elves. I never get to see
them. I’m going to leave reindeer
food for your reindeer when you
come to my house. We are going
to leave you some Christmas
cookies and a glass of milk. I
would like a Ninja Turtle truck
with a red Ninja Turtle that can
shoot bingers. If you think that I
have been an extra good boy this
year, I would also like a monster
truck that can move all by itself
when you push the controls. And
please leave stuff in my stocking.
I’ve been playing with my brothers and helping my mom a lot. I
really want to see your big, big,
big reindeer. Thank you.

Ministerial
Association
by Rev. George Insley
Community Tabernacle
As we enter this holiday
season, let’s remember the
reason for our celebration!
We the members of the Body of
Christ, here in Middlesex County
and surrounding areas are God’s
messengers of good news. We
know and must share the truth at
this appointed time. Most of our
neighbors and friends will unwittingly get caught up in the grasp
of materialistic greed; and if we
do not do our part, some will fall
into despair.
Let’s join those who have gone
before us and make our declaration known. Zacharias (father
of John the Baptist) in the first
chapter of Luke says, “Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel; for He
hath visited and redeemed His
people, and hath raised up a horn
of salvation for us in the house of
his servant David.”
Isaiah, the prophet, declares to
us from his book, “For unto us
a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful,
Counseller, The mighty God, the
everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be
no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom, to order it,
and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth
even forever. The zeal of the Lord
of host will perform this.”
His Name is above all others.
This Name will one day cause all
knees to bow . . . yours, mine . .
. for all time. Do you know the
Name? Are you allied with the
Name? Lives are hanging in the
balance! Won’t you join myself,
Pastor George Insley of Community Tabernacle, and others this
season, and share the Name?

Special thank you to Tom
Hardin, editor of the Southside
Sentinel. He has been of enormous support to us this year, and
this columnist especially appreciates his patience with her! He
is invaluable to this newbie,
especially in catching my
uncanny ability to rename (misspell) people’s names! Thanks,
Tom, for all your support.
We are so grateful to all that
have contributed this week to the
Buy-A-Board campaign. This
will be a year-round drive, but
this time of year is especially
important to us. Henri (who was
featured in last week’s column)
thanks you too!

Members of Urbanna Baptist Church will present a live
Nativity scene on the lawn of the
church from 5 to 7:15 p.m. this
Friday and Saturday, December
17-18.
Changing casts of church
members in authentic costumes
will portray all of the familiar
Bible characters who were present at the manger during and after
the birth of Christ. The living
reenactment of the Nativity is
intended to remind observers of
the true meaning of Christmas.
The public is invited to drive
or walk by the scene, or to park
in the church parking lot each
evening. Beth Straw, chairman
of the event, said, “We hope this
presentation will provide ideal
opportunities for families to take
time from busy schedules and
pause to consider what Christ
really means to them.”
There will be three 45-minute
presentations each evening.
Characters in each scene will
include the Baby Jesus, His parents, wise men, shepherds and
angels.
Mrs. Straw said that several
roles have not yet been filled.
Local residents who would like
to participate can register on a
sign-up board at the church or
call Straw at 758-3307.

Harmony Grove Christmas
celebration set for Sunday
The Worship and Christmas
Program Committees of Harmony Grove Baptist Church
invite the public to celebrate
the birth of our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, on Sunday,
December 19, at 7 p.m.
The celebration will include
the church’s preschool children, kids choir, chancel choir,
and other church children and
youth.
The kids choir will be presenting the musical, “Signs of
Christmas.” The signs of Christmas are all around— lights
on houses, wreaths on doors,
Christmas trees shining through
windows, but the most important signs point to Jesus.
The chancel choir, youth and
children will present, “Holy
Child.” The prayer is that this
celebration of music will cause
everyone to experience the
Christmas story as if they were
hearing it for the first time.
“May the majesty, the mystery, the miracle of the incarnation be a very real part of your
