a dat eR Lh A i EA i sia Nestleton-Caesarea News by Mabel Cawker Christmas Time It's Christmas time once again and everywhere in homes across the Dominion, the fragrance of fresh evergreens will blend with the spicy sweetness of mincement...cookies in the making...and all the wonderful kitchen smells of the season. This is Christmas in Canada...the home of a nation held together with tradi- tions of its own. A turkey will be roasting in almost every Canadian kitchen on December 25th, and most families will have it stuffed and roasted exactly like Grandma used to do it...and all the Grandmothers before her...right down to the Cana- dian roots of the family tree. Yes! Christmas is a wonderful time...a time for family reunions...a time for merriment and good cheer. A time for the joy of giving...not just presents but the giving of oneself...the commitment of oneself to others. This is, perhaps the greatest job of all! We truly hope that every glowing moment of your holiday is radiant with joy and gladness. Merry Christmas to one and all...wherever you may be!
