First Manitoba Christmas by Val Bullen
A humorous reminiscence on Christmas rituals and the holly shortage in Britain. The author recalls the annual holly hunt, birds feasting on berries, and clever substitutes like red wax and Edam cheese wax to recreate festive berries. He notes Europe’s E E C influence and the hope for a white Christmas fading with reality.
