On Christmas Eve 2022, the employees of MidWestOne Bank in Oskaloosa are wishing the Herald’s readers a very merry Christmas by sharing their favorite Christmas traditions.
“My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around the town with my mom looking at all the Christmas lights and eating some ice cream in the backseat.” — Brandie Fuller
“My favorite is just going to my grandparents’ house with all my aunts and uncles and cousins and all those, just getting together and playing game and eating food.” — Cassie Wichhart
“I think my favorite Christmas memory would be, my dad would bring out the special plate for Christmas and we put Santa’s cookies and milk out on it and then we’d watch ‘Christmas Vacation.'” — Erin Schmidt
“My favorite Christmas memory is going to the church Christmas program. My mother would make us a homemade velvet dress, and then we’d have Christmas at home and get to open one present if we did a good job.” — Sandy Bailey
