MULDOON News

News of yet another attempted theft in the Muldoon area has come to light. Christmas Eve it was not Santa trying to acquire an additional trailer for his goodies, but someone tried to steal what was not theirs to take.

Please be aware of what is going on in and around you and your neighbors’ places. If you see something that does not look right, stop and take note of who, size, age, what they are wearing, etc. Write down the vehicle description and get the plate number if you can. If safe to do so, take a picture real quick. Call your neighbor and check with them and call the sheriff’s office to let them know what you see. A deputy can come out and check it out.

We all have to pull together and catch these thieves. They have been plaguing the area recently and it will take all of us pulling together to stop them. In the past it has been outsiders coming through, and taking advantage of unsuspecting residents relaxed “country vibe” to steal all sorts of stuff. Please be advised to put away and lock up your belongings. Even this does not keep everything safe, but will slow the criminals down and not offer them an easy victim.

Kathy and Frank Chlumsky had their kids from Austin and Katy came in for Christmas. Grandkids, Connor and Hunter Dong, Olivia and Marcus Williams, enjoyed a day at the farm. After they all enjoyed a delicious meal, everyone got to open their gifts and spent some time outdoors. Of course, the horses, cows and donkeys all had to be fed. It was a special time for everyone.

For Christmas, Ron and Pam Knotts were able to spend a few days with their son, Derek, his wife, Anastasia, and their son, Troy. The plans were doubtful for a while, but finally things fell into place. Ron and Pam were able to stay in nearby Denton, only ten minutes from Derek’s house. Every visit with Derek and Anastasia starts with a big breakfast that carries everyone for most of the day so, Christmas Eve started with lots of pastries. After breakfast it was time for fun. Since five-yearold Troy had already opened a few packages, then everyone joined in on some of the new games he received. The afternoon was set aside for the annual viewing of the movie “White Christmas” with everyone joining in the singing. For the Christmas Eve meal Anastasia created a host of her favorite Greek dishes. The spices and flavors are unusual but always delicious. A special treat was a video phone call from Anastasia’s mom in Athens and everyone got to chat with Dora and hear about her holiday.

Christmas Day began with another big meal, this time breakfast tacos, one of Ron’s favorites. Opening presents was next on the agenda. Everyone took turns so it was controlled chaos. Later in the afternoon the Christmas stockings were emptied and those gifts opened. The final event of the day was a birthday celebration for Derek whose Christmas birthday always makes for a festive finale to the family get together.

Dana and Darrell Kulak traveled on Christmas Eve to spend it with Darrell’s family. They always celebrate Christmas together in pajamas and loads of fun, food and festivities. The Kulak Christmas is a big party and and a time for all the siblings to enjoy and catch up, all while stuffing themselves silly.
