You know just what day you have to be back too. Marster had a big Christmas tree, oh, great big tree, put on the porch. There'd be a whole wagon-load of things come and be put on the tree. Hams, cakes, pies, dresses, beads, everything. Christmas morning marster and missus come out on the porch and all the colored folks gather around.
Someone call our names and everybody get a present.
They get something they need too. Everybody laugh and was happy. Then we all have big dinner, white folks in the big house, colored folks in their cabins. People all a visitin'. I go to this house, you come to my house.
