Summary:
"In this eclectic collection of both fiction and non-fiction, adult and children’s
stories
, 25 writers from around the
Atlantic
Provinces describe
Christmas
and winter experiences -- experiences that are both challenging and heartwarming, funny and serious, ridiculous and sublime.
Down
Home
for
Christmas
offers a rich tapestry of seasonal
stories
from some of Pottersfield Press’s most talented and beloved authors and is sure to touch both those who love
Christmas
and those who enjoy the entire winter season in our rugged
Down
East region. Sandra Phinney holds a mysterious gold-coloured 'thing' in her hand on
Christmas
morning, puzzling over what it can be. Parents play a game with their children where they leave candy canes and little elf hats in the snow near their
home
. In Budge Wilson’s 'The Imperfect Perfect
Christmas
,' December 24 finds young Andrea Doucette feeling none of the
holiday
spirit as she ponders what sort of
Christmas
they will have this year. Janice Landry recalls the dollhouse her father Basil made for his granddaughter one special
Christmas
. Patrick O’Flaherty describes the hardships of a Newfoundland fisherman facing a difficult season in a hard, unforgiving landscape. And Farley Mowat tells us what snow means to people around the world: 'settling in great flakes on a calm night over a vast city' or 'slanting swiftly
down
across a cluster of tents huddled below a rock ridge on the arctic tundra.' Readers of varied ages will enjoy the thrill of receiving an orange from Portugal in Hugh MacLennan’s classic tale, the pathos of a lame boy who knows the true meaning of
Christmas
in an excerpt from Steven Laffoley’s A Halifax
Christmas
Carol, Sharon and Mary O’Hara’s childhood excitement of anticipating Santa from their
home
on the remote and fabled Sable Island. Mi’kmaw educator and advisor Theresa Meuse describes the ways in which the Mi’kmaq celebrate the season, both as Indigenous Peoples and as practicing Catholics. And Lindsay Ruck recalls the
Christmas
of 1991, when her repurposing of ordinary (and some might say throw-away) items for
holiday
gifts was at its zenith. Julia Swan is a long-time editor of Pottersfield Press and Lesley Choyce is the author of dozens of books for adults, teens and children."--Publisher.
