"Christmas 1885
For a picture of Christmas and social doings on Dakota Creek, we have the account which appeared in the Bellingham Revielle, January 16, 1885.
'On Christmas Eve we had a Christmas tree and social gathering at the Union Schoolhouse. Santa Claus (Mr. Norton) [this would be Charles Huntoon Norton my gg grandfather] was present and everyone old and young received a present. Previous to the distribution of the presents there was speaking and singing. After the business of the trees was over the room was cleared and dancing began, which lasted until the 'wee sma' hours' with a short intermission at midnight when supper was announced at Mr. Arndt's, a short distance from the schoolhouse."
