Kathie Bell
Special to the Globe
This year many of us will spend Christmas with only immediate family, but almost all of us will made an attempt to celebrate the holiday.
It was no different in early Dodge City.
Whether it was a newcomer with no local ties or someone just passing through, most people attempted to get into the Christmas spirit even if they were far from friends and family.
Deacon Klaine, editor of the Dodge City Times wrote, “We gave a friend a present, or we attended the Christmas tree entertainment, or we attended the Firemen’s Ball, or we ate dinner at the Presbyterian church tables, or ate supper at Mendenhall and Rendy’s restaurant, or ate at the house of a friend, or we drank a glass of eggnog – in some way according to the custom of the civilized world – we acknowledged the day which give birth to Christianity.”
