A vivid reminiscence of a one room country school Christmas concert. Teachers and students prepare with plays, dances, and carols, build a front stage, sew costumes, and decorate the room. Parents and neighbors fill the yard as Santa arrives with gifts for all, ending with family holiday meals and a ten day break.
The article recalls traditional Christmas senses in Canada and advises recreating an old fashioned theme using fresh greens and past decorations. It suggests coordinating tree, wreaths, mantels, and table décor with homemade items, natural textures, and period accents like beads, gingerbread, brass instruments, pine cones, and grapevine wreaths.
A playful quiz tests Christmas knowledge with twelve questions. Answers cover Creche, Little Drummer Boy, Eggnog, Child's Christmas in Wales, Lemon Drop Kid, Advent, Rudolph, Kris Kringle, England, Mistletoe, O Come All Ye Faithful, and Eight.
