This 1901 photo shows a scene from the iconic lines "The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there." - Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston Jr, 1823

My mom's side of the family is Swedish (and still lives in Sweden) and she instilled in me lots of Swedish heritage and traditions which has made me who I am today. My dad's side of the family is German and Irish and the most likely the side of the family I get all my freckles from. Family is so important, and welcome everyone to discover more about them, their history, and share about their loved ones who make up the history of who we are!
