         Uh huh.

         So O.K.

         O.K.

         We finished [what we set out to do].

         We finished a bit of it. We finished something [anyway].

         What do you mean “a bit”?

         Something.

         It’s been hours!

         [laughter]

         Look what this girl here wrote out!

         [laughter]

         This girl has recorded because she can write. If she couldn’t have written –

         [laughter]

         Yes, but it’s because she [can] hear [and understand] the words that she writes them!

         Well –

         If I hadn’t been talking what could she write?

         Nothing!

         Nothing. Listen, now. Your wife – I don’t know, I don’t know [whether]

         but if I see your wife, I’ll tell her to blanch you!

         [laughter]

         Why this beard here? At least if that beard were black

         Ah [but] …

         it wouldn’t matter.

         ... it’s a nice beard.

         But it’s reddish!

         Talk about the things he’s asking you! Don’t tell the man

         such things. Come on now!

         So what does it matter that it’s reddish?

         Well, [that beard] of yours isn’t nice-looking.

         Why not?

         Well how should I know why not?

         When –

         You should go and – you know, with dye.

         Look how much she’s writing down!

         Well, I’m not a woman, to go off messing with [hair] dye and such

         Women do dye their hair. See, your hair is black!

         But men – men don’t dye [hair].

         Ah, but some men – their mustaches – They do something –

         The ones – the ones among us that are old.

         OK, the old ones. If one [such] has a reddish mustaches, they take dye and –

         And smear it on.

         Smear it [unintelligible]. Oh my goodness.

         How do you celebrate “koleda” (Christmas)?

         What?

         Koleda – do you have such a holiday?

         Koleda, yes Koleda. “Bozhich” (Christmas).

         Koleda.

         Yes.

         Bozhich, Koleda, fine.

         Yes.

         What do you do?

         What do we do?

         Right.

         For Christmas we do the following. The men cut a great deal of wood

         Where from?

         They go to the chopping block. They’ve brought in a lot of wood.

         [From] which kind [of trees]?

         Well, wood! Long pieces, from the forest up there. They bring them in using oxen.

         Do you follow?

         I follow.

         Of course you follow it all, you’re just pestering me!

         [laughter]

         And [laughter] and they bring [the wood] into the yard here and cut it up for Christmas.

         What do they cut [the wood pieces] on?

         On [some] tree-trunk. A piece of wood this thick – you [cut it] with a “sekira” (ax),

         or a “bradva” (ax), as they say. We call it “sekira”,

         but as to who …

         “Sekira”.

         … calls it “bradva”, I don’t know.

         “Sekira”.

         They cut the wood – a lot of it. And the women do baking. They make “pogacha”,

         buns – they make little buns for the children. There are carolers, who come by –

         Is the “pogacha” (quickbread) with leavening?

         What?

         or without leavening?

         You put leavening into the buns, but for a small “pogacha” it’s different. You put –

         again for the “pogacha” – in those, you put in pieces of money.

         Uh huh. Money.

         They put in [a coin] of twenty stotinki, or ten, or whatever.

         Ten levs.

         As much as you want.

         Quiet!

         Huh? Kids, you confused us. I don’t know …

         O.K.

         … where I am [now].

         So you put in money –

         And you knead it. You put in money and knead it, knead it,

         knead it up to be nice, and then put the “pogacha” aside to puff up.

         And when it puffs up, and rises, you put it in to bake.

         Right. In a – in a –

         In a baking dish. Yes, in a baking dish. And the “pogacha” bakes up.

         And you make banitsa with greens, and they make up little buns

         and they make the sign of the cross over them and then children –

         the boys, but not the girls, come –

         Uh huh.

         they come in the morning. They’re given a bun each and they sing “Koledu, Koledu”.

         How do they call these people, these –

         “Koledari” (carolers).

         Koledari.

         Yes, koledari. That’s the boys. And the girls are “Lazar-singers”. When they come …

         Aha.

         Aha.

         then …

         But on the tops of the bread: what did you do on the bread,

         [and] on – on the buns, on the buns.

         On the bun, we put – I guess you call it – “tŭrlu” (sheep-pen [object form]).

         “Tŭrlu”?

         “Tŭrla” (sheep-pen [subject form]).

         Right –

         What is a “tŭrla”?

         Right.

         Really?

         Sheep. For sheep.

         Ahh!

         And we put one of these on each bun, it’s made out of dough.

         Right.

         Lambs

         A little ball [of dough].

         Little balls, little balls, Yes. So the cow when we, you know, milk that – the udder.

         Where –

         Well, on the buns! We put [them] on there and –

         You do it that way?

         Yes, right. Like that, yes.

         This [one] is the udder

         Yes.

         A cow’s.

         Yes, a cow’s.

         And these are lambs.

         Yes. Right, like this.

         Um hm. So this [goes] on top, on top of the bread.

         On the bread. And whichever woman is the head kneader, only she kneads

         [these breads], and the others all stand around. It all goes on the [one] breadboard.

         Uh huh.

         You saw one there, except it was small. So she puts everything on it.

         They spread straw on the floor, and put a rug on top of it [and everyone]

         however many people there are sit there - elders, father-in-law, mother-in-law,

         son, and everyone – they sit there, and the one who’s the head kneader, she made

         [the breads] puts it all on the breadboard, carries it in, and lays it on the cloth

         And they take a “kandilo” (candle-dish). Kandilo – do you know what a kandilo is?

         No.

         No? Well it’s this – an earthenware thing.

         Like the priest [has], the priest.

         Haven’t you seen the priest when he does his thing with it?

         [I don’t get] what a kandilo is.

         Well, don’t get in a bother. It’s a “kandilnitsa”.

         Ah.

         Yes.

         What does it look like?

         What?

         What does it look like?

         Well, it’s earthenware, and it’s made like – it’s got a handle,

         and you put in coals, and put in incense

         And the one who’s the head of things, the oldest, stands up and –

         [laughter]

         and puts a few coals –

         The oldest person.

         What?

         The oldest person in the village.

         What do they say?

         [laughter]

         The oldest person.

         [laughter]

         Well, yes, the oldest! The oldest one, [that’s] Bokye.

         That's right.

         And he puts the coals [into the candle dish] and it – like that –

         and then smoke comes out,

         [laughter]

         and he takes it around three times like the priest when he chants

         [laughter]

         what he chants. Then he stops and makes the cut.

         What does he cut?

         He cuts the bun (the Christmas bread).

         Right

         He cuts it

         [laughter]

         and breaks a piece off and puts it on the – there

         [laughter]

         on the cloth spread out, then he cuts the Christmas bread again

         and we all look for money [in it].

         Uh huh.

         They’d put money there, right? So you search for money and break the bread

         You break the bread and whoever finds [the money] will be rich. Get it?

         Got it.

         Right, O.K.
