Eskimos at Point Barrow Celebrate Christmas With Homemade Tree
At Point Barrow near the Arctic Circle the town school crafts a handmade Christmas tree since no evergreens grow nearby. A timber trunk with holes holds sticks as limbs, colored paper foliage drapes the frame, and a Santa mask from Seattle tops the scene for the season. Local teachers D W Cram and family describe the festive setup amid northern life and long distances.
