It turns out, soldiers first arrived there to build the fort on December 25, 1837. (Ah-HA!) The surrounding town is also called Christmas. My sister-in-law would have been right at home with the weaving and sewing for the whole family. She sews beautifully, and has her own loom and spinning wheel... and uses them! However, if her husband wants anything ironed, he has to iron it himself. Not her bag. (She's really cool.)
