Sunday, December 24 (1944)

Nothing to do so loafed till noon . After sketchy lunch checked over electric rigging for tree. Went down town with Mary and telegraphed for room reservations. Morning was warm and melting but in afternoon began to slant down. After supper, Snook went driving with Margaret while Mary and I trimmed the tree. We had a great amount of decorations and it looked luscious. About 10:30 pm 2230 drove over to St. John's Cathedral for midnight service. Very nice.
