Family Story
Carmen Hill Middleton Remembering Christmas
Carmen Middleton was born in Keota, I.T. to Permelia and John Hill and has lived in Holdenville for 72 years, 52 of those years she has been a member of the Nazarene Church. She married Leo Middleton in Holdenville, October 19, 1924. They had 4 daughters, Wilma Jean, now deceased, Wandine, Reba and Naomi, they also raised 4 grandchildren. Carmen’s first memories of Christmas was of her father coming down the stairs as Santa Claus. They lined cane bottomed chairs in row, for Santa to put their gifts on. Santa would feel the chairs to see if the kids had put pins or tacks on them before depositing the gifts. Presumably this was too see if the children had been good. Carmen never had a Christmas tree until after she married. Leo’s first Christmas gifts to her were a Ruby ring and a Kodak.
