Nastasia Turet's Busy Vacation

:

Nastasia Turet's Busy
Vacation

Christmas vacation was long and lonely for Nastasia, but other than that it was okay.

During the vacation she spent a lot of time getting ready for the Russian Orthodox Christmas to begin. She also followed the big star to a couple of houses, and when it was getting close to her house she had to hurry home to cook. She did a lot of baking and she was kept busy until the star reached her house. The star was brought into her house at 11 P.M. and taken out at 7 A.M. After the star was gone, she followed it to Andy Boots' house. After they sang in his house, she went home and went straight to bed. The next day there was a lot of cleaning to do which got her pretty tired.

All in all, though, Nastasia enjoyed her vacation, especially spending time with her sons, Maurice and Jake. It was nice having them home for a change.
