A Special Christmas in July

This story tells about one of my favorite childhood experiences.  Every year our cousins would spend part of the summer with us.  Since we lived on a farm, we had a large world to explore with our play limited to our imagination. Stopping our play only lasted long enough to help with work around the place. This time in the 1950’s also saw many first in our nation when television and space began to play an importance in our lives.  Then one afternoon as we played, we had a surprise which made this summer A Special Christmas in July!
