>>Lyssi,
>>My family isn't Eastern European, but that sounds like an interesting and

>>Christmas carols in German. We would go caroling to an older German woman
>>we knew from church. She would gather all her friends together to hear us
>>sing. Ruth Baker was one of the sweetest women I ever knew. My mother
>>would always tell us not to expect to get anything from her, but Ruth never

>>ornament. We performed for her ever year from 1984 to 1997. I missed our
>>last performance because I was sick and breaking off and engagement at the
>>same time. Kelly C knows what I am talking about. In 1998, Ruth was living
