Clara's Busy
Vacation
"My last day of work was on December
21. It was a very busy day! I had to get the library straightened out
for the vacation. But I got through it okay.
On Friday, Dec. 22,1 slept in until
10 o'clock in the morning. Most of that day I sewed on my nieces' and
my children's stockings. We didn't have much money this year for
Christmas so I made felt stockings for them. I decorated them with
sequins and cut out patterns of Christmas trees, snowmans, or bells.
We bought small gifts to stuff them with. I also cleaned, swept and
mopped my house.
On Dec. 23rd I was still trying to
finish the stockings. I had to make my own letters for the names of
all my nieces to sew on their stockings. I also decorated them with
sequins.
On Dec. 24th I was still working on
those darn stockings!! I had two more to make! Most of that day I was
baking goodies for the Christmas Feast we were having at Alvin and
Agnes' house. Having a big dinner party on Christmas became a
tradition at my parents' house after Arthur Owletuck's death. Every
year my sisters, Linda and Rena and I cook and bake for this event.
We also celebrate Christ's birth. So our Christmas feast has a double
celebration. Palassa Sergie also helped a lot during this big
feast.
We attended the Christmas program at
the gym. We had to come to the gym early because our youngest child,
Tamlyn, was in the Headstart Program. They were so cute!! The program
was fun! I liked the part about the laughing jingle bells and the
Mexican with a big hat!! I laughed till my side hurt and tears were
streaming down my cheeks. My stomach was sore for two
days!
Dec. 25th I baked a turkey at 8
o'clock in the morning while my sister Linda made the salads and
other food. At 12 noon I went to my parents' house to help set up the
table and get food ready to be served. At 12:30 P.M. our whole family
ate Christmas dinner. It was noisy, there were 9 granddaughters and
one grandson ranging from ages 1 month old to 16 years old. It was
packed!! That's how it was all day. On the 26th I just rested. I was
too tired to enjoy the day. From Dec. 27th to Jan. 5th I enjoyed
staying home with my three year old, Tamlyn. She's a barrel of laughs
sometimes! Boy, she's learned a lot of words from being in Headstart
and books being read to her by her dad, brother, sisters and
myself.
During Slaviq I helped my sister,
Rena, prepare the feast for the little star. The children were told
to go to Willie and Rena's house at 12 P.M. to eat lunch, then they
would go to Myers' house to sing and so on down town. Then I helped
my mother-in-law at her house when the big star got there. She had a
big feast. The star got to my house on the 9th or 10th. This year we
just served snacks and gave out small gifts to the
carolers."
