Christmas in the Indiana wilderness was celebrated by some early settlers. The head of the pioneer family would read the gospel story of the Nativity, which was followed by the giving of home-made presents, articles that were useful and practical, for there were few frivolities in a cabin in the woods: "Father had tanned a hide in a trough cut out of a trunk of a tree, had taken the leather and made shoes, patterned and pegged by himself, for the boys and girls. Perhaps mother had been able to make some preserves and candy 🍬out of last year's maple sugar. They sometimes had wild turkey🍗 for dinner. The girls got new linsey-woolsey gowns or sunbonnets. Mother fashioned a doll out of buckskin and stuffed it with hay. The candle-lit🕯️ Christmas tree was not known then in Indiana. Some little girls were fortunate to get some cabinet maker's little samples or some tiny china pieces. For the boys, homemade sleds 🛷, wagons, bows and arrows 🏹, slings, and whistles made of paw paw. Or a pair of ice skates⛸️ or a gun made at the forge of the local blacksmith. For the Christmas goodies, there were home-made candies, -- taffy or 'lasses,' popcorn strings and balls, and fancy cookies." (from the December 27, 2005, Lowell Tribune, page 5). Here is what to expect: ⭐String popcorn and decorate the Christmas tree by candlelight and flickering oil lamps. ⭐Cozy up to a crackling fire in the fireplace. ⭐Enjoy a plate of homemade Christmas cookies. ⭐Roast marshmallows in the fireplace and make yummy S'mores. ⭐Play games or sing songs - create special memories. We'll provide some Christmas Carol booklets. ⭐Experience a surprise visit by Santa Claus! If you want, Santa will even bring gifts that you provide in advance or we supply from our farm store. Alpaca socks and stuffed toys make great Christmas gifts! ⭐Settle down for the night in the cabin loft under warm patch-work comforters. The loft sleeps six in two full beds and two twin beds. ⭐Enjoy a farm fresh breakfast in the morning complete with fresh homemade cinnamon rolls. Your hosts will have a fire burning in the fireplace when you arrive. We will greet you arrive and give your instructions and materials for all the activities. After that, we will let you have private family time together (but we will be available should you need anything). The next morning after breakfast, we would be happy to give you a tour of the farm and you are welcome to help in the feeding of the alpacas.
