Christmas New Year
Slavik
"This Christmas I was planning on
getting a real Xmas tree, but there was no snow. So we had to use our
fake tree again.
The most exciting part of my
Christmas was watching my children's eyes
when they opened their presents. Also the midnight Mass they had at
the Catholic Church.
I was really excited on New Year's
too, because they had fiddling going on at the school gym. The
Marshall fiddlers were performing. Then at midnight most of the men
went home to shoot their guns. So there were a lot of gun shots and
fireworks and the people were shouting with all their might, 'Happy
New Year!'
Slavik was too fast this year. I
hardly went because it was too cold outside. When they reached my
house I let Wesley and Arthur shoot outside of our house because
that's the way we do it back home in "Chuathbaluk." We fed almost all
of the people. We took a little over six hours feeding people. By the
time we were almost done my feet were aching. The best thing was that
my mother was here with all of us and everybody was helping me serve
the people who were starring us. Many thanks go to Arthur Peterson,
my brother Wesley, and his girlfriend, Linda Owletuck, for helping us
out that night. And also to my son and daughter, Robert and
Carmen.
I owe all my Slavik to my mother,
Nastasia, because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to
feed the people who starred us. Thanks Mom.
Last but not least, thank you,
Traci
L. Fitka for doing some baking for
me. Also to Ellen Alstrom for baking the turkey. Here's wishing
everyone a Happy New Year and many more."
