ts been 12 years since a Livingston family last decorated its Scotch pine tree for
Christmas. Its got Christmas lights for the first time since
2002. And if you happen to be on
Livingstons South Second street
after dark, its pretty hard to
miss.
Its a beacon, laughs homeowner MaryEllen Szafranski.
The Szafranski family has a special reason to decorate the tree
this year, which sits in the yard of
their house in the 300 block of
South Second Street.
Their adult son, Kevin, who used
to decorate the tree when he was a
kid, will be home for Christmas,
the first time in four years,
explained his mom, Mary Ellen
Szafranski, an emergency room
nurse at Livingston HealthCare.
The lights on the tree will be a
surprise.
Kevin moved to North Dakota
for a good-paying job in the Bakken, and his schedule hasnt
allowed him to be home for
Christmas the past few years. But
this year, with his 14 days on/seven days off schedule, his days off
fall right around Christmas.
So MaryEllen had an idea.
When it came time to decorate
for Christmas, she thought it
would be fun to put lights in the
old Scotch pine again.
Kevin was the monkey who
climbed the tree and decorated
it, Szafranski said, of the familys decorating traditions.
But there was just one problem:
the tree, which was about 6 feet
tall when the family bought the

Kathie Jackson, with the Nativity Committee of Tulsa, and her granddaughter
Gloria Harrigill, 3, admire a Nativity scene at the Governors Mansion in Oklahoma City, Dec. 12.
White, who is retired
from teaching preschool
at Asbury United Methodist Church in Uniontown, owns about 400
Nativity sets that she has
collected throughout her
lifetime. She puts about
80 of them on display
each year in the 1870
farmhouse where she
resides with her husband
Duane.
Whites favorite Nativity set is one she purchased from Sears in
1971, the first year of her
marriage, just like her
mother did before her.
This Nativity is stationed,
as always, under the family Christmas tree. She is
also fond of a set her husband made at Sunday
Another favorite is a
1930s set made of hard
rubber.
The pieces are very
interesting and the facial
expressions are very
individualized, Tickner
explained.
Both women have
Nativity sets made in a
variety of materials,
including pewter, plaster,
porcelain, paper, metal,
clay, coal, grapevines,
wood and wax as well as
those stitched onto cloth,
painted on stacked boxes,
placed inside water
globes, on top of music
boxes and engraved on
ornaments or jewelry.
While their outside
Nativity sets are large,
some located inside are
only inches tall and might
be found inside another
object, such as a small
statue of a Christmas
tree.

A Christmas Visit
The hospital was the
last place that I wanted
to be on Christmas Eve. I
knew that I would much
rather be curled up on
the couch with a steaming mug of hot chocolate,
but as the seven year old,
I didnt have much say in
the matter. Grudgingly, I
crammed into the car
next to my siblings.
As we piled out into the
parking lot, I felt a snowflake fall onto my cheek.
I glanced up and caught
my breath. Thousands of
snowflakes danced and
twirled to the ground like
graceful ballerinas. I tenderly stretched out my
hand to catch one on my
glove. Maybe this
wouldnt be the tedious
evening I thought it
would be.
I timidly stepped into
Grandmas hospital
room, very careful not to
make a sound. A window
in the corner looked out
over the parking lot,
revealing the cold
December night outside.
Grandma lay in a bed in
the center of the room,
her eyes closed and her
expression displaying
worry and fatigue. I
walked up to her bed and
gently tapped on her leg.
Grandma? I whispered.
Her eyes opened and on

48 Hours of Christmas
See in my family we dont travel or have any crazy Christmases. Because we stay in Livingston,
home. You know why? Its because home is where
both your family and your friends are. Why would
you want to be anywhere else, when you can be surrounded by people you care about and care about
you? Well like I said my family doesnt do anything
exotic, but we have some traditions that suit us just
fine.
First, I wake up at my fathers house on Christmas
Eve. Some years he will give me small presents or gag
gifts in the morning. Once I receive my small gifts
and we say our Merry Christmases, we usually eat a
nice breakfast consisting, most of the time, of eggs,
bacon/sausage, toast, and pancakes, with either milk/
orange juice. Once our breakfast is devoured, we
relax and enjoy one anothers company.
Then, around one oclock we head over to one of
these three locals: My uncles house, aunts house, or
my grandmothers house to prepare dinner for the
rest of the family. Its great to be in your familys
company while having the overwhelming smells of
Lil Smokies, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, and so
many other aromas engulf you. Once the dinner is
prepared, and the rest of the family arrives, we all
sit down to say grace and dig in! After dinner is

quietly get up and take a stroll around the Christmas tree and gaze upon the presents. Once Im done
with this I sneak back to my room and fall asleep
once more. When I finally wake up at a more sensible time I check to see if the rest of my family has
awoken yet. And if they arent, I try to make the
loudest possible actions I can without screaming.
Its more like shutting doors a little harder, walking
heavier, or whistling a tune once Im downstairs.
When they finally wake up we all gather in the living room. Then my mom and my stepdad go get all
the presents and bring them to the living room.
First we dig into our stockings. After that we tear
into our presents.
Then until about four oclock we enjoy all of our
new presents. Once four oclock comes around we
head up to our grandparents house. We wait for the
rest of the family to arrive. Then we all eat dinner
and open presents from the rest of the family. Finally all of my traditions are complete and I can go
home and relax.
As you can see we dont have any crazy outlandish
Christmases, but we have our own traditions at
home that treat us just fine.

house.
The white snow towering high over
the buildings with the white mountains in the background and the fog
that hung unusually low.
Mikayla, snapped my aunt Stacy,
who was also my teacher at the time.
Huh, I said, coming out of my daze.
Its time to do the ornaments, are
you coming? she asked questioningly.
Nodding my head, I stood up to follow her to the kitchen. It was almost
Christmas break, and I couldnt wait
to get home from school and get my
schedule laid out for all the traditions
Cooke City had to offer.
Sitting around the small kitchen
table with the five younger kids, I
waited patiently while the teachers
got everything set up.
Curtis! I snapped at my younger
brother who was goofing around with
his friend, Silas, Stop causing trouble
Im not doing anything wrong. You
arent the boss, Curtis replied, turning back to his friend.
Mrs. Dempsey and Aunt Stacy
stepped out of the storage closet,
bringing all the ornaments and paint
with them. Setting them out in front of
us, they started the lecture.
Since we are decorating the big
Christmas tree tomorrow, we have to
make sure we finish them, Mrs.
Dempsey said.
Antsy with excitement, I tuned them
out and started my ornament. We had
been doing this for as long as I can
remember, and it was one of my favorite things to do. So caught up in my
design, I didnt hear my mom coming
in to pick up my brother, sister, and
me.
Are you about ready? my mom
asked us. Your dad got the Christmas
tree, and we want to set it up and start
decorating it.

make the holiday special.
Without the creativeness of
traditions, the holiday would
be unimportant and dull. The
traditions are create a fun

Holiday Exhaustion
Wake up, wake up, I say over and over again to
my mom at an ungodly hour of the morning. Its
Christmas! I say while my mom rubs her eyes and
gradually wakes up.
On Christmas day, everything is usually familiar
as we always spend Christmas time roughly the
same way every year. On Christmas Eve, I am
always anxiously waiting for the next day to come
as my family and I read The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore, prior to opening a
single gift each. The beauty of Montana never fails
to impress as the snow twinkles in the street lights
with a background of the snowcapped Absaroka
Mountains. As we all open our one present, the
smiles and laughter of the house are the first real
signs of Christmas, which leave me impatient for
the soon-to-come Christmas morning. Slowly the
night winds down, and I usually find myself lying in
bed for a while trying to fall asleep as my excitement for Christmas takes over, but before I know it,
I am asleep only to wake up to the early sunlight of
Christmas morning. I have been waiting all year for
this, for I have counted down all the days in December with my Christmas calendar until now.
Now that everyone is awake, we all go downstairs
to our stockings hung from the fireplace. We sit and

Christmas
As I slowly open my eyes to a pitch black bedroom, I realize its Christmas morning. I ran down
the hall to wake my sister up, and then I ran up the
stairs to wake my mother. As I watched her slowly
get up, I eagerly ran down the stairs into the living
room to find a bright tree with decorations and
present everywhere!
I was overfilled with excitement. I moved the
boxes to see what I had gotten from Saint Nick.
When everyone was in the living room, I was waiting on my mom to give me the okay to open the
brightly colored presents. I started ripping wrapping paper off, eager to see what I had received. I
looked over at my sister to see what she has gotten
from Santa. She was looking at a new doll she gotten
with glistening eyes, just like the way I look at ham
on Christmas Eve. All of the presents were
unwrapped and the room was covered with bright
wrapping paper, toys and packages.
I jumped with delight when I heard a soft knock
on the door. It was my father! He had to come to
take my sister and me to his house for yet another
round of opening presents. We stopped on the way
to pick up my step brother from his moms house.
Then, we headed to my dads house. As we arrived
at his house, we all jumped out of the truck and
headed inside to see all of the presents from Santa.
We all gathered around the tree and opened presents. As the unwrapping came to an end, my wish
list was complete. I was satisfied.
My dad told everyone to get in the truck. As we
drive away from our house, I wondered where we
were headed. As we pulled up a driveway, I recognized the house. It was my grandmas house! When I
opened the door, I was welcomed with the sweet smell
of cinnamon rolls and wonderful holiday foods. After
seeing yet another present-filled tree, I started to lose
interest in the excitement of opening presents. We
opened all of the presents and then sat down to have a
Christmas breakfast like we do every year.
By this time, I was just happy to be with my family, with everyone laughing and having a great time.
Christmas is by far my favorite holiday because I
have the time to actually enjoy my entire family
whom I love so much.

a bit. It may be a couple of hours to two days. Thats
just how we roll. We sometimes get weird looks from
people after they have noticed its been on our car for
a few days. Once weve shown off our awesome tree,
we put it up.
As we are putting up the tree, it is then that I realize
how special this tree hunt is to me. It is a time where I
see frantic scurrying and prancing to get things done,
but it all gets done and everything is well. I not only
get to spend time with my dad and other family, but
my friends, as well.
Thank you
for your
patronage
of our
three Park
County
offices this
past year.
