H.C. Pranges Snowbabies by Scott Denny
Visiting the H.C. Pranges Christmas windows was the highlight of the Christmas season. Well at least if you were around 5 years old. First the windows, then Bruce the Spruce the talking tree and finally the Enchanted Forest. Several days back my dad, Tim Denny posted a photo of me taken in 1969 as I stand and stare at the H.C. Pranges Christmas windows. I have a little story posted which is titled Christmas Past 1969 H.C. Pranges introduced the Snowbabies in 1971. They were a part of the Christmas windows up until the windows were just a thing of the past. The Neville Public Museum was able to obtain an inventory of items from the old H.C. Pranges Christmas windows. They have spent a number of years and a fair amount of time and money restoring the one time Christmas wonders. This series of Snowbabies has been posted to share with you a fond memory of the past and to remember there was a day when children had to use their imagination a bit more than today. I hope you enjoy. Please View Larger

Leak's Garage by Tonye Banks
This is one of two gas stations we have here in Crowder Oklahoma…It has been around since the early 40’s and has been run by 3 generations of the same family… One of the very few buildings left standing after the 1949 tornado that destroyed Crowder and ultimately led to the demise of our beloved little town that was once a prospering little city with banks, a drug store, a railroad stop, 2 restaurants and several other businesses. Now with only 331 residents and 21 miles from the nearest walmart…we enjoy the peace and quiet of our little town :)

The Little Matchstick Girl by Marny Barnes
This was for a contest to re-create a Fairy Tale…It’s also my FAVE fairy tale AND the little girl in this is my Daughter. I took all Shots except the alley. The Teddy Bear beside my daughter used to belong to my husband when he was a very small toddler. Both the eyes and the nose are missing!!Used a pic from stock exchange! The Little Matchstick Girl( Hans Christian Anderson) / Most terribly cold it was; it snowed, and was nearly quite dark, and evening—the last evening of the year. In this cold and darkness there went along the street a poor little maiden with her tiny naked feet, that were quite red and blue from cold. She carried matches in an old apron. The flakes of snow covered her long hair, which fell in beautiful curls around her neck. From all the windows the candles were gleaming, for you know it was New Year’s Eve. In a corner formed by two houses, she seated herself down and cowered together. Her little feet she had drawn close up to her, but she grew colder and colder. Her little hands were almost numbed with cold. Oh! a match might afford her a world of comfort, if she only dared take a single one out of the bundle, draw it against the wall, and warm her fingers by it. Rischt. How it blazed, how it burnt,as she held her hands over it: it was a wonderful light. She rubbed another against the wall: it burned brightly, and where the light fell on the wall,she could see into the room. On the table was spread a snow-white tablecloth, and the roast goose was steaming famously with its stuffing of apple and dried plums. She lighted another match. Now there she was sitting under the most magnificent Christmas tree. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven; one fell down and formed a long trail of fire. / “Someone has just died” said the little girl; for her old grandmother had told her, that when a star falls, a soul ascends to God. She drew another match against the wall: it was again light, and in the lustre there stood the old grandmother, with such an expression of love. Grandmother, cried the little one… ...She took the little maiden, on her arm, and both flew in brightness and in joy so high, so very high, and then above was neither cold, nor hunger, nor anxiety—they were with God.
