During the Christmas vacation, Natalia did quite a few things.

She attended the fund raising square dance that was held on both the 31st of December and the 1st of January. The fund raiser was sponsored by seven organizations, including the Marshall Race Committee, Russian Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Traditional Council. During the two days of dancing, Natalia had a really enjoyable time. She likes to dance, and especially had fun dancing the waltz and other songs.

When the Russian Orthodox Christmas started on the 7th, Natalia followed the star and had a good time. She also had to feed followers of the big star when they got to her house. When the big star was a couple houses away from Natalia's, she started cooking, baking and preparing for the feast. After they sang the songs, Natalia started serving the food. There were so many people who came to eat she ran out of some food. But everyone managed, and three to four hours later the star was ready to go again.

Besides being busy during Russian Orthodox Christmas, she spent her time with her granddaughter, Mary. But before she started babysitting again she took some time to rest and enjoy her vacation.
