"Was another cloudy, wet day. This morning we left our camp and moved into our huts. At day break all the men paraded and fired a round of small arms, wishing the commanding officers a Merry Christmas. In the course of the day, Captain Lewis and Captain Clark collected what tobacco remained and divided it among those who used tobacco as a Christmas gift; to others they gave handkerchiefs. We had no spirtous liquor to elevate our spirits this Christmas; but of this we had little need, as we are all in good health."
