Great Grandmother Martha Embry had a fun-loving personality and a great laugh. The oddest things would really tickle her funny bone. I remember her buying a novelty Christmas wreath that was motion-activated. Each time someone walked by the ordinary looking wreath it would suddenly come to life with blinking eyes and moving lips announcing “Merry Christmas” then singing Jingle Bells. It never failed to give her a smile. Our first Christmas together, just two days before our wedding, Sandy and I gave Grandma this Christmas toy. When she would push the button the snowman and his dog would sing “Jingle Bells” and dance. She loved it and laughed freely. This Christmas her great grandsons have discovered the toy, and another generation is overjoyed.
