Harriet Adams described the special jubilation and excitement she felt as a child in the 1870s during Christmas:
"No Christmas is ever quite complete without a tree and candles, and we little folk saw all the preparation of the tree. We were living but a short distance from the Little Blue River, and on the bluff nearest our home was a scattering growth of cedars.
Father took us with him as he carried an axe and selected the tree, which he cut, and big brother helped carry it home.
Christmas morning we were awake early, but it was an inviolate rule that the tree could not be seen the decorated tree until after breakfast was eaten. We looked for the gifts hidden in the branches and protruding from our stockings.
There was a delightful odor of scorching cedar and Father would walk around and around the tree smothering every smoking stem and keeping the candles burning safely, while he and Mother distributed the gifts which Santa Claus had brought."
