Green grass belies the sea-son, but the front lawn ofSchmidt Dhonau Kucner Funer-al Home harkens to Christmaspast.

Philip Schmidt, former own-er of the Sharonville funeralhome, was in charge of the life-size nativity that filled the yardfor two weeks every year in the1960s, beginning the Saturdaybefore Christmas.

He was a member of theSharonville businessmen’s as-sociation, which acquired thefigures, structure, and a don-key, which they boarded at aWest Chester farm for the other50 weeks.

“It was huge,” Schmidt re-called. “The businessmen’s clubbought it from a convent. Thestatues were cast iron, veryheavy.”

Life-sized Christmas memoriesKelly [email protected]

THE MOSTMEMORABLECHRISTMASES EVERFor all of the shopping, cards andgift wrapping, the real gifts ofChristmas are the memories - onesalready made and ones still to bemade.Community Press reporters askedreaders to share some of their best(not all are happy).We hope you enjoy the stories.» Julie Phillippi-Whitney grew up inCollege Hill and resides there todayand runs her business, PW Commu-nications. Growing up in the ’60s,Whitney said she has many fondmemories.On Christmas Eve, her parentswould tune to WLW-AM and hearupdated news reports on whereSanta had been sighted.“It would say something like, ‘Santawas last seen over the state ofMaine, headed down towards NewHampshire, and is expected to beflying over Ohio around midnight.’ Iwould get so excited over this au-thentic news report that I couldbarely sleep,” she recalled.A couple of gifts also stand out inher mind as favorite memories. Onewas of her very own “cardboardkitchen.“When compared with today’s toykitchens which have running waterand working microwaves this seemsso shabby,” Whitney said. “But tome it was my very favorite gift thatSanta brought me.”The other best memory of a gift isthe year when Santa brought her anew Siamese kitten, Moppett, toreplace her old cat (also namedMoppett) who was run over by acar.“The new Moppett lifted my spiritsand she lived to the ripe old age of23,” she said.A couple more favorite Christmasesfor Whitney include the year shegot her very own typewriter and theyear she got a Raggedy Ann doll.- By Sheila Vilvens, svilvens@commu-

nitypressThe smell of a fresh cedar or pinetree, the warm glow of lit candles orthe sound of seasonal songs like“Hark the Herald Angel Sings” canopen a floodgate of special Christ-mas memories.Now in her 80s, Deer Park historianand former Suburban Life columnistAnn Poole once penned a columnthat recounted her own Christmasmemories from her humble child-hood in Augusta, Georgia, whereshe grew up one of nine children.The church play in which she andher siblings annually participatedalong with a citywide caroling eventare two special memories.“Every elementary school in thearea gathered to sing all of thetraditional carols,” she wrote in hercolumn a couple decades ago. “Thepicture it created (in my mind) is asclear today as it was back when Iwas a youngster. There had to beclose to 1,000 young carolers, allrobed in white, carrying lightedcandles and occupying the entire

balcony of our huge civic centerauditorium in Augusta.”Today, a lovely artificial tree withlittle white lights glows in the cor-ner of Poole’s Deer Park living room.As a child, a cedar tree served as theChristmas tree.“The tree, a large six-foot cedar, wascarefully moved from our yard andreturned to its original site foranother year,” Poole wrote. Thefragrance of cedar filled the home,she said. There were very few storebought ornaments. Instead, the treewas adorned in red and greenconstruction paper chains, strings ofred berries and popcorn and pinecones.“Apples, oranges and nuts ap-peared under the tree on Christmasmorning as if from nowhere, andalso filled our stockings,” she wrote.“I can honestly say we consideredourselves very lucky when Santa leftus that one special toy or doll thatwe had asked for in our letters.”

As a mother of three girls in DeerPark, Poole said Christmas for herdaughters was a bit different fromthose she enjoyed in Georgia. Herdaughters recently shared theirfavorite Christmas memories withPoole, which she recounts.“Of course I liked all of my toysSanta brought me, but my favoritememory through the years has beenthe silver Christmas tree,” recalledPoole’s daughter Lisa Hogg, whonow lives in El Monte, California. “Iwas so fascinated by it, but not somuch more toys.”Hogg said the tree also had a colorwheel light that illuminated thetree in a rainbow of colors.“One of my many Christmas memo-ries was when Santa brought mysister and me a small wooden table-like bench,” recalled Joni Sandersfor her mom. Sanders now lives inDelray Beach, Florida. “He had leftlittle yellow chairs for us with ournames on them. Oh, yes, I alsoremember that the Christmas treewas placed in our playpen.”Poole’s youngest daughter PennyHodge, who still lives in Deer Park,recalled a year when Christmas wasnear and the family had no tree.“This had always been the highlightof our Christmas,” she said. “Afterdriving quite a while we were get-ting worried that we would have notree. That was promptly solvedwhen our dad saw a lone tree in ayard used earlier for selling trees.“My dad was sure that the lonelittle tree would be just right.”The tree was one-half her size, evenpropped on a box, she added.Over the years as a columnist, Poolesaid she had the opportunity to talkwith many area residents abouttheir Christmas memories. She thenshared them for all to enjoy in theSuburban Life.Thanks to Ann Poole for contrib-uting to this story.- By Sheila Vilvens, svilvens@commu-nitypress

“We borrowed twosheep from the same

farmer that stored ourdonkey,” Schmidt said.They were enclosed in thestructure with the figuresof Jesus, Mary and Jo-seph, as well as the threewise men and shepherds.

“I got the job of makingsure the animals were fedevery day and had water,”Schmidt said.

At that time, he and hiswife, Barbara, lived in theapartment above the fu-neral home on ReadingRoad in Sharonville.

“I’m not a farmer, but Iknew how to make surethey were fed,” Schmidtsaid of the diet of hay andwater.

He recalled two occa-sions when the sheep gotloose.

“I think somebody letthem out,” Schmidt said.“The phone rings in themiddle of the night. It wasthe police departmentsaying ‘your sheep areloose.’

“You have to runaround in traffic, pick itup and put it back. Eachone separately.

“The other one was inthe morning, during rushhour. It was difficult to getthe cars out of the way tocapture the sheep.”

The nativity was asight to behold.

“People would stoptheir cars,” Schmidt re-membered that 50 yearsago, parking was allowedalong the street.

“People could stoptheir cars and pet thesheep and donkey.”

Eventually, the nativ-ity was moved to DepotSquare, without the liveanimals, and today, it sitsin storage.

I always wonder when I make thesemini fruit cakes just how many of you whoread this column like fruitcake or havesomeone on your holiday list who does.Trouble is around my house, I don’t havemany fruitcake lovers, so making thesefills the bill for those who want this sea-sonal treat.

I’ll be making these, too, for my friendBert, who lives down the road and whoremembers when I made batches of fruit-cake for our catering customers. I do haverecipes for traditional fruitcake from scratch,along with some made with box cake mix thatare really good.

So for those of you who need a big fruitcakefix, check out my site at Abouteating.com.

On another note, I know how this time of yearcan be stressful, as well as joyous. So rememberthis simple thought: Contentment is not the ful-fillment of what you want, but the realization ofhow much you already have. Merry Christmasand Happy Holiday!

Tip from Rita’s kitchenOne ingredient white chocolate icing:Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I had for-

gotten about this easy icing until I ran outof confectioners sugar to ice cut out cook-ies and found a lone bag of white choco-late chips in the pantry. What I love aboutthis icing is that it dries hard, no messyicing that sticks to fingers.

All I did was melt the chips over verylow heat, dunk the top side of the cookiesin and put them on a rack. I sprinkled

them with toppings before the chocolate set.Iced giant marshmallows: Dip into coating,

put them on a rack and shake sprinkles on topbefore chocolate sets.

Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes) These are so pretty and really delicious - just enough of a bite to

savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for amore authentic fruitcake taste.

1-1/2 cups diced mixed candied fruits1-1/2 cups raisins (combo of light and dark or whatever you like,

including currants)1/2 cup brandy or apple juice3/4 cup dark or light packed brown sugar (I use dark)1/3 cup room temperature butter1 large egg1 cup flour1/2 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt and allspice1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1 cup chopped nuts (I like walnuts)Candied cherries for garnish

Melted apple jelly for glazeMarinate fruits and raisins in brandy or juice at least 4 hours or

better, overnight. That plumps them up and they’ll absorb most, if notall, of the brandy or juice.

Mix sugar, butter and egg until fairly fluffy. Whisk together flour,soda, salt and spices; stir in. Mix in nuts and fruits. Spoon into mini muf-fin tins lined with baking cups. Fill 3/4 full. Top each with cherry.

Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from tins, brush topswith brandy or juice while warm. Cool. Store in airtight container. Beforeserving, brush tops with jelly. Makes between 4-5 dozen.

Waldorf saladRob, a Northside reader, shares this recipe which he says “ is the

perfect accompaniment for that holiday ham”. He said go to taste onthe dressing and other ingredients. I have fond memories of my sister,Judy, making Waldorf salad for our holiday table.

Dressing: whisk together, taste and go from there

1/2 cup mayonnaise1/4 to 1/3 cup cider vinegarHoney or sugar to taste - start with a heaping tablespoon

Salad: mix together

1 heaping cup red grapes, halved5-6 nice sized apples: combo of tart and sweet, like Granny Smith

for tart and Gala or other for sweet, cut into 1/2” pieces3-4 ribs celery, chopped fine1 cup toasted sliced almonds or walnuts, chopped, or more to

tasteSalt and pepper to taste

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently until coated. Refrigerate,covered for half an hour or so. Adjust seasonings.

Tip: You can substitute dried cherries, cranberries or raisins for thegrapes and pecans for the nuts.

A publication of

Christmasas a kid was somythical asthe countdownstarted Dec. 1and every dayafter that be-came the buildup to the bignight, Christ-mas Eve. Inthose earlychildhooddays, you be-

lieved that anything was pos-sible.

The famous letter by Fran-cis Church, “Yes, Virginia,There is a Santa Claus,” speaksclearly to this:

“Yes, Virginia, there is aSanta Claus. He exists as cer-tainly as love and generosityand devotion exist, and you

know that they abound andgive to your life its highestbeauty and joy. Alas! how dre-ary would be the world if therewere no Santa Claus! It wouldbe as dreary as if there wereno Virginias. There would beno childlike faith then, no poet-ry, no romance to make toler-able this existence. We shouldhave no enjoyment, except insense and sight. The eternallight with which childhood fillsthe world would be extin-guished. ”

The so-called Christmasspirit gives us the best chanceto get the new Scrooge back.Actually when people speak ofthe Christmas Spirit I think ofEbenezer Scrooge in CharlesDicken’s 1843 “Christmas Car-ol.” As a kid after watching themovie, I was always worried

about the possibility of havingghosts visiting me in my smallattic bedroom let alone, dis-cuss my past/future. Scrooge’srevitalized passion for living iswhat most people relate to theChristmas spirit.

The question I find myselfwondering when I need torekindle the flame or as an oldfarm kid would say it: puttingmore wood on that “campfireof the heart.” What am I doingwhen I get the most satisfac-tion in life? The answer canvary as the individual. Wheth-er it’s visiting old friends orstopping in a local nursinghome to listen to old time sto-ries…usually some type ofsharing of you is really whatblazes the inner fire with anew passion of giving/receiv-ing in living.

For me, sometimes it’s justenjoying simple things as bak-ing bread to share with neigh-bors or a walk outside realizingor marveling at of nature’screations.

The kid in me still remem-bers the thought of Santa com-ing down the chimney, or theEaster Bunny hiding eggs; thetooth fairy leaving quartersunder my pillow; the storkdropping off a baby at thehouse, or the leprechaun’s goldas I look thru the window glassto find the end of the rainbow.

So then versus now…whathas changed? OK, of coursemore responsibility as an adultand tougher problems to solve.

The big difference is as akid, we had developed an atti-tude of finding simple things tobe excited about looking for-

ward. As adults we need some-thing to look forward to…so-mething to dream about…something to celebrate daily.

Look at what’s positive inyour life. Don’t worry aboutthings you have no controlover. Not easy as some of usface unbelievable life chal-lenges, but remember it’s atti-tude…positive outlook thatcan…will make everything-…way beyond Christmas, be-lievable again.

Winter isright aroundthe corner, andwith it comescold weatherand higherheating bills.Now is the timeto preparehomes to con-serve energyand save mon-ey.

At People Working Coopera-tively we’ve been providingservices to the low-income,elderly and disabled citizens ofGreater Cincinnati for 40 yearsto keep their homes warm andtheir bills low, and we’ve puttogether tips for homeowners.

Step one of preparing ahome for winter is checking the

windows and doors. These aretwo areas it is easiest for heatto escape and cold air to enter ahome. Begin outside, checkingthe seal between windows andsiding. Homeowners may needto strip away layers of old paintand caulking before re-caulkingto ensure a tight seal.

After sealing the outside,homeowners should move in-side and check the weatherstripping on windows. If itlooks worn it should be re-placed. Just sealing windowscould save 15 percent off ener-gy bills this winter.

Installing a programmablethermostat is another great wayfor homeowners to save moneyon their energy bill. For everydegree a thermostat is set backover an eight-hour period,

homeowners can save as muchas 1 percent on their energy billeach month. It’s easy to pro-gram the thermostat to turn theheat down at night while every-one is sleeping and during theday while the house is empty,but begin to warm it back upwhen the family will be up andaround the house.

Checking the furnace beforeit gets really cold is a good ruleof thumb. Call in a professionalto evaluate the furnace andprovide any tune-up necessary.

Another easy maintenancetip is to change your air filter.Filters should be changed everyfew months, and it’s a good ideato change it out before the fur-nace gets heavy use.

It’s also important to cleangutters twice a year to make

sure they are working properly.Now that leaves have startedfalling, it’s a good idea forhomeowners to check theirgutters for debris includinganimal nests, branches, leaves,and anything else that mayhave landed on the roof. Home-owners should also ensure thattheir downspout is pointedaway from the house to avoiderosion to the foundation.

Taking the time to weather-ize could mean significant sav-ings on energy bills this winter.We encourage homeowners toevaluate their energy use andtake some of these steps toensure their homes stay warmand efficient this winter.

I am not anexpert onreligion, buthave been astudent ofreligion formany years.

Being opento any beliefhas been aninterestingexperience.Along theway to my

acceptance of many varyingbeliefs there have been someinteresting and even funnyexperiences. Sharing a fewof them may make the hopeof unity acceptable to thosewho feel they practice theonly true religion. It is im-portant for all people to be-come accepting of otherbeliefs as religious hate hasalways lead to disaster formany people. So, please bearwith me as I relate a fewstories.

As a youngster, I wasuncomfortable among otherswho believed differently.That changed in collegewhen I took a course in Com-parative Religion. The pro-fessor lectured on the differ-ences in the major religions.In the text book I becameaware of the many similar-

ities. I was very vocal inclass that we could exchangehard feelings on beliefs formutual respect by givingmore attention to the similar-ities. It seemed that mythoughts were not accepted.My grade was a “C.”

In 1954, after college, Iwas in the Army. Basic train-ing at Fort Knox in Augustwas a sweaty experience.The previous summer I hadlearned to swear in Syrian. Arecruit next to me wassweating profusely. He wasvery uncomfortable. Iblessed the sergeant in mybest Syrian. Two fellowrecruits behind me broke outin laughter. The sergeantknew I was swearing at him,but couldn’t do anythingbecause he didn’t know whatI was saying.

My two new friends wereMuslims from Dearborn. Wespent many hours togetherbefore we were assigned toother training. After myservice ended, I was in busi-ness. I made some sales callsto Dearborn and becamefriendly with a Muslim cus-tomer. We did business dur-ing the day and went to the Yfor handball in the evening.Interestingly, the words forGod in Arabic and Hebrew

come from the same root.In my travels I have come

into contact with many reli-gions. By accepting the fac-tors that created them itbecame easy to see the cre-ation of diverse beliefs. Itwas also easy to accept thatthose believers may thinkWestern religions arestrange beliefs. Who is to saywhich is right? What I amhappy to say is that as I ac-cepted the surroundings andfaith of the followers, manyof their ideas seemed valid.The reality is that mankindactually creates their ownconceptions of God. Thereare many learned quotes tosupport this. Many becomeintolerant of anyone whocreates a different God orGods. My philosophy is thattheir ideas are just as validas mine.

For the sake of peace andharmony we must all hopethat peaceful Muslims aswell as racists can gain con-trol of their radicals and joinothers as valued partners ofpeace and tolerance in aworld that has become dan-gerous due to intolerance.

I onlyhoped I could duplicate just a small partof the success he has brought to hun-dreds of young men at St. X.,” said Gartn-er when asked about Keefe’s influenceon her career. “He taught me that we arenot only coaches of swimming, but alsocoaching life skills that these kids canuse to be successful people.”
