Rough Draft Oldtimerz (Kelly)__** // One of the holidays the Sassawassis’ celebrates is on May 13th. They call this holiday Oldtimerz. This special day celebrates the old people in their country. It remembers all the things they’ve done for the country and all the places they’ve been or things they’ve seen. All the Sassawassis gather at the town hall and listen to the old people tell stories about their childhood many, many years ago. Each citizen of the town must buy a present for every old person in that same town. The most common presents are denture cream for the men and knitting needles or hard candies for the women. They decorate their teepees by hanging yarn on the inside and outside of the house. They also put pictures of the old people in their family outside on the front lawn. Inside they don’t use their computers or TV’s for the entire day to remember how different it was in the olden days. For only this one day a year, the parents cook dinner for the family. The youngest living generation in the family invites all the older generations for a huge feast. This is also the only day that the parents clean the house after the guests leave. __//** Rough Draft Birthdays (Kelly) **//__ Birthdays are HUGE for Sassawassis’. Since both children are born on the same day, they share a birthday party, as do the parents. For the children’s parties, they hang streamers and blow up balloons and decorate the whole house in bright, fun decorations. They invite 50 other Sassawassis children, and the parents must leave the house for the whole day. In the party they have pizza, movies, a cotton candy machine, a bouncy castle, and finger painting. The parent’s parties are different. The children must serve them and not say a word the entire night. They have 100 other people over and celebrate until 4:37 a.m. the next morning. They decorate the house with candles and sophisticated decorations. They drink beverages that only adults can drink and spend the night talking. Once the guests leave, the children must clean the house until 7a.m. that morning. The parents then sleep for the next two days because they are so tired. __//** Good Copy Oldtimerz (Kelly) **//__ On May 13th every year, the Sassawassis creatures celebrate a holiday called Oldtimerz. This holiday celebrates every old person in the country and what they have done, seen, or where they have been. You are officially considered an old creature when you are 200 years old. On this special day, all the creatures in the town gather at the town hall to listen to the old folks tell stories about their childhood so long ago. Like many other holidays, you must give gifts. It is no different on Oldtimerz. Each citizen of the town must give a gift to every old creature of that same town. Some of the most popular gifts include denture cream for males and knitting needles or hard candies for the females. For decorations, they hang yarn on the outside and inside of the teepee. They also put photos of the old or deceased people in their family outside on the front lawn. Inside the house they do not use their computers or TV’s for the entire day to remember how much different life was before. For only this one special holiday, the parents cook the dinner and clean the house. The youngest living generation in the family invites all the older generations over for a huge feast. Once the guests leave, the kids go to bed and the parents must stay up and clean the house until it is totally spotless. __//** Good Copy Birthdays (Kelly) **//__ Birthdays are incredibly important holidays in the Sassawassis culture. They throw huge parties and have many others over to celebrate. Since the children are twins, they share a birthday party. The parents share a party also. For the kid’s parties, they hang streamers inside and outside the house and blow up balloons and decorate the house with bright, fun decorations. They invite 50 of their friends over to celebrate. In the party they have a cotton candy machine, pizza, hot dogs, a bouncy castle, and finger painting. During the party, the parents must leave the house. Once you are 125 years old, you start having adult parties. They are quite different from the kid’s parties. They invite 100 others over and the party lasts until 4:37 a.m. They decorate the house with candles and hang mirrors all over. They drink alcoholic beverages and spend the night talking and dancing. Once the guests leave, the children clean the house until about 7 a.m. that morning. For the next two days, the parents stay in their room sleeping and watching TV. because they are so exhausted.

sweeson good copy (shannon) The holiday Sweeson is celebrated for the love of two Sassawassis. All of the Sassawassis' get married on the same day. So everyone in their tribal group meet each in a church. It’s like a mega anniversary. It is celebrated on February 21st. The tribal leaders cut the cake and serve it to everyone. The church is decorated with a huge ice sculpture of their female god Valumpalice. She is tall, with long, wavy, brown hair with blond highlights. She has a soft and gentle face with deep blue eyes. She is the god of love and romance. The floor is covered with fresh rose petals with the little dew drops still glistening from the torches lit with sacred fire. The torches are lit all over the place. Some gifts that are given are diamond and jeweled tiaras with rings of gold with “I love you” in crested in it for the ladies. The men are given emerald crowns that are in scripted with their wedding vows. The reason they meet in the church is because that is where the first Sassawassis were married, they also had an ice sculpture of Valumpalice and rose petals covering the floor.

**__TwaKaa __****__ (rough copy) __** T waKaa is a very exciting holiday for the Sassawassis children. TwaKaa celebrates sports, sportsmanship and team work. On June 21st, 1990 this holiday started. In each town the children have a series of different games. The sport they play is a team sport. The teams are made based on which town they live in. If you live in Tuicy Village, that’s the team you play on. All the country’s towns play against each other in the country’s national sport, Willitt Ball. Willitt ball takes a great amount of effort, and agility. The point of the game is to get the ball in the net more than the opposing team (just like soccer). There are eleven players on the field including the goalie. Each team wears jerseys to symbolize there town. If you win you play another town. If you lose you don’t advance. If you tie both teams move on. The teams play and play until two teams are left to face off for the championship.
