Zenith

Aunt Zenith was my grandmother's older sister.

On occasion we would end up at her house around Christmastime and she would prepare a Christmas pie.

This was no ordinary pie. She took a box, attached ribbons to little toys, and poked the ribbons through the paper top of the pie.

Everybody present gathered around the "pie" and got to choose a ribbon and on the count of 3 everybody would pull and whatever was attached to their ribbon was their little gift.

I don't know where she got the idea from but I thought it was a fun idea.

I know I didn't get to go too often because we were usually having our own celebrations, but it was fun the times that I did.
