Too Cold to Go Out/Like the Old Days

:

Too Cold to Go Out

"I stayed here in Marshall for Christmas. The thing I liked most about my Christmas vacation was going to the community Christmas program. My favorite part was when the Catholic choir were singing Christmas songs like Silent Night. And I also liked when they were giving out presents to the people.

I especially liked being invited to people's houses to have Christmas dinner. My husband Vernon and I have always enjoyed having Christmas dinner with other people. We used to do more things during the Christmas vacation but this year it has been too cold for me to go out."

Irene Evan

Like the Old Days

"Most of the vacation I prepared for Christmas day and the midnight mass at the new Roman Catholic Church. I also wrapped presents and cooked Native food for the Christmas dinner. It was like doing it in the old days. I was excited about both Christmas programs that were held at the school. I didn't do much sewing for my family this year, so they didn't have many presents from me."
