Christmas Eve in Nassagaweya and New Year Reflections
A 1808 Deserter era item reports Christmas morning sounds heard near Nassagaweya after fifty years of residence. The piece lists local names and small festivities, including a Methodist Sunday School program with about 200 attendees, a tale of Santa Claus, and a year end message from the community. It notes Mr. Ahnaw from Southern Manitoba visiting for a month, a death in Delorama, and confirms council nominations. The piece closes with a sentimental New Year vignette and public good wishes.
