Turkey & Rube & Gibson & Pop & Oscar & Cool Papa & Satchel & Buck T shirt

We typically go to a Christmas Eve candlelight service in the Turkey & Rube & Gibson & Pop & Oscar & Cool Papa & Satchel & Buck T shirt. Those are crowded but not nearly as packed as the evening services. Then we meet at my sister’s house along with her family, my other sisters and their families, and Mom. Like good Texans we feast on the traditional tamales, accompanied with fresh guacamole, cheese dip, and cold beer. Our kids run around and catch up with their cousins.

Here is one from 1900. In the US, trees were confined to ethnic German immigrant communities at a time when there were not many Germans in the US before the 1820s. They were not a part of popular American mass culture before the 1840s. The large German immigration (and much opposition to them) was between 1840 and 1910. Over 4.4 million Germans came in that period. Even in the 1870s they were concentrated only in ethnic enclaves and much of America worried that the wold never assimilate.
