Even with the numerous elbow-nudging the two receive during the holiday season, they say there are advantages to the name Christmas. "While it is difficult to convince somebody that your name really is Christmas, by the time you have them convinced, they never forget who you are," Christmas said. "And in college, there were never any last names the same as mine on the rolls to confuse anybody." Being able to remember the name Christmas probably came in handy when the couple was courting 14 years ago. "We met at church and I was introduced to him as 'Ed middle-of-the-year Mrs. Christmas said.

"It was February or March then. I remembered the name." While the Christmases don't send out "cute" Christmas cards, they do plan to spend a quiet holday at home, waiting for Santa Claus. "Do we believe in Santa Claus? Of course we do. Doesn't everybody?" Mrs. Christmas said.

In fact, Santa Claus is a relative. Christmas' father is known in. Camden as Santa Claus. "My father is much smaller thsji Santa Claus and he never has had. a beard or mustache, but he loves kids, and because of his last name, the nickname of Santa Claus has just stuck." If that were not enough, S.anta Claus visited the Christmases one holiday about 10 years ago.

"Helen was giving me a canoe for Christmas and a friend of ours said he would pick it up and deliver it for her," Christmas said. "It just, so happened he was playing Santa Claus that year, so he picked up he canoe in his costume, put a big red bow around it and delivered it to me." All jokes aside, Christ' mas is a special time of the year for the couple. "We still get excited about Christmas, and we try to go out of our way to get each other really nice presents," Christmas said. "We love spend our Christmases in Waynesboro because this is our home."
