Southern Christmas Stories

<p>Everywhere Vicki H. Moss has traveled people have said I can tell you're from the South because of your accent. One lady in Ireland asked You're from Texas? She replied Tennessee-however many of my Tennessean kin left for Texas in the 1800's-you've probably met some of them because they took their Tennessee accent with them. The woman then said I can also tell a difference between southerners and northerners because southerners have a softer way about them. Perhaps it's because the Appalachian Mountains are an echo of Scotland. It was in these southern states that the echoes of Scotland resounded through songs hymns and storytelling-especially Christmas stories.     </p><p>  </p><p>A young man from Washington D.C. told her It's different in the South. A much slower pace. People are friendly and kind down here. I love the South. I would never move back to D.C. </p><p></p><p>One thing about southerners even if born in the city-they love the land. Their rich heritage. And they love celebrating the birthday of Jesus. For Vicki Christmas will always be her favorite holiday. We hope after reading her stories Christmas will be your favorite holiday as well. </p>
