We made our own Christmas in 1968 in Laramie student housing. Dorothy and Sara created the ball and the gold Christmas tree, and the boys made candles. I'll never forget the day I came home from school and work, to find that Brig had decided to go ahead and melt some parafin to make another candle- the whole thing was spilled all over the stove, floor, and himself. Fortunately, the jeans were thick and he was not burned - and everything cleaned up. We did have a very slick kitchen floor for a while. My friend from the art department, Eleanor Carrigan, came to dinner and took these pictures. Remember to click on the pictures to see them enlarged.
