Christmas Oysters

I’m Miriam Neff, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money.

M One memory from my childhood was a big splurge my mother spent on food.  She bought a can of oysters.  Chopped and added to turkey stuffing, we were aware this was a delicacy.  The cost in 1955 was 45 cents.  Today it might be $15.00. 

V What do we wish our children and grandchildren to remember when we gather for our Christmas meal?  Each one might contribute to the prayer or say something we are thankful for or a need we have that we bring trusting Jesus for an answer.  We’re considering how to make our mealtime more focused.

M I won’t be putting oysters int the dressing, but I knew our mother wanted us to know that meal was special.
