Every Christmas the descendants of Richard and Julia Crotty would visit each other's homes. They would start in the early afternoon, and the first stop would be at the Jackson's on Eagle Point Blvd. After a while they would all go to David and Mary's on East 5th. By the early evening everyone went to the Barron's on 5th and Parade, and later in the evening they usually went to Johnny and Norma's on Charlotte St.,
and then ended up at the Callahan's on West 3rd.At each stop there was food and drink. The kids drank Rola pop, and I can remember the beer as being Topper, Buckeye or Genesee.
When we were at Johnny's he'd tell us kids the story about when he was "The Durango Kid".
Norma is partially hidden in this picture taken on Eagle Point Blvd.
