Christmas (New Mexico, United States) (search for this): article 3
far from a taste, a distaste for dinner. This has been the experience of all of my mess, and it is not confined alone to ourselves. John R. Barleycorn was quite an intimate companion of some of the men — the former occasionally preparing a wreath, in which the latter fell victims to the superior agillty of the former. An agreeable disappointment was experienced in that the number of its inmates, so the inference may be very naturally drawn, notwithstanding what I have said, that our Christmas passed off pretty quietly. The time between the holidays and New Year's day was spent on picket ou-post No. 3, which has been assigned us for the winter. Nothing occurred while we were there worthy of note. We were blessed with clear weather, although it was quite cold. We returned to our camp in time to enjoy the New Year's day, which was a pretty one, and which I hope is a forerunner of many such that are, to follow. The day was celebrated by active employment for the speedy com

its imagined pleasures than in their actual realization. Boxes and such like are, I confidently believe, a decided disadvantage. They disorder the stomach, destroy, while they last, what regniarity we had attained to previous to their coming. We have these good things; we feel inclined to taste, and we keep tasting between meals until we have, so far from a taste, a distaste for dinner.

From the Potomac. Christmas holidays--building huts — fall of know — health of the Regiment, &c. Camp Near Centreville, January 4th, 1862. The long-looked for Christmas has come and gone. Everything that was done was done with a view to the enhancement of the pleasures anticipated of the festive occasion. ChriChristmas has come and gone. Everything that was done was done with a view to the enhancement of the pleasures anticipated of the festive occasion. Christmas Eve was welcomed with hearty demonstrations of joy and gladsome delight; indeed, each man looked upon the other with a manifest air of satisfaction. Egg-nogg, with its effect consequent upon excessive indulgence, was not rate. Boxee from our good old homes far away came in in the very nick of time, filled to overflowing wiimes — turkey, ham, sausage, spare-rib, chine, butter, eggs, pies, cakes, etc. I am of the unalterable opinion that there is more pleasure in the anticipation of Christmas and its imagined pleasures than in their actual realization. Boxes and such like are, I confidently believe, a decided disadvantage. They disorder the stomach,<

The day was celebrated by active employment for the speedy completion of huts for the winter. The work is progressing now rapidly, the slight fall of snow and bail lastnight being an incentive to renewed efforts. But for the wind, which future months have in store for us, I believe the canvas would prove sufficient protection against the cold. The health of the regiment at present
