| Christmas In ALASKA  Most
Alaskan Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25th, just as
people do in the continent of the US. Santa Claus may arrive for a
pre-Christmas visit, but, food, gift giving, and decorations are
like what you might see in Texas or Wisconsin.
The
songs sang at each home include Aleut words Gristuusaaq suu'uq, or
Christ is born. Everyone joins in the closing words, Mnogaya leta,
or god grant yoou many years. At the end og the carols the host
provides carolers with maple-frosted doughnuts, cookies, candy,
piruk/, or fisdh pie, adn sometimes smaked salmon.
