Christmas in Canada is a
pot-pourri of customs reflecting
the unique personalities of the
provinces which make up the
Canadian mosaic.
The Pacific coast is par-
ticularly Christmas -oriented.
Imagine a Carol Ship
silhouetted in lights, bearing a
Chtistmas tree at the masthead
and carrying bell-ringers and
children's choirs. Followed by a
flotilla of brilliantly lit 'fire
boats, tugs, fishing boats and.
private yachts, it leads the
Yuletide fleet that welcomes in-

Victoria Christmas, dinner
reservations well in advance to
get in on all the fun.
Yuletime ski buffs are well
catered for in the Vancouver
area at Grouse Mountain,
Mount Seymour, and Whistler
Mountain in Garibaldi Park
(only 70 miles from the city.)
Special interdenominational
skiers' services are held on the
valley floor at Whistler in a
beautiful A -frame church, built
with funds contributed by the
skiers.

snowshoeing. Jasper Park
Lodge guests can participate in
sleigh rides to massive open-air
fireplaces for winter barbecues.
Carol singing, Christmas and
New Year's parties are also
featured.
The Christmas season in
Toronto gets off -to a spec-
tacular -.tart in mid-November
with the mile -long Santa Claus
parade, one of the larget`t
anywhere.
The simple pleasures of the
pioneer Canadian Christmas
are revived Nov. 30-176.6.'"23"at
Toronto's Mackenzie House,
former mid -nineteenth century
home of the city's first mayor.
Decorat'ipns are traditional -
paper chains, rosettes, candles
and other trimmings adorn
mantels, archways and stair-
cases.
The ' "Kissing Bough",
forerunner of the Christmas
tree in England, glows with
candles and gay home-made
objects to delight young.. and
old. The nostalgic aroma of
fresh evergreens and crackling
wood firs completes the festive,
picture.
In the basement, hospitable
Toronto ladies in period
costume prepare cookies and
fruit loaves 'on a wood -burning
range. Cranberry punch and
piping hot mulled cider are ser-
ved to visitors.
In French-speaking Quebec,
-.Christmas is a deeply religious
event, the most colorful and
every year on the evenings
during the week before Christ-
mas in the harbor of the
cosmopolitan Pacific city of
Vancouver.
The unique Carol Ship, like a
gigantic Christmas parcel
glowing with lights, annually
draws huge crowds of visitors
from all over British Columbia
and the western U.S.
Windows along Vancouver's
Robson 'Street (often called
Robsonstrasse),. crammed with
ethnic delights, exotic gifts and
pungent culinary masterpieces,
heighten the festive flavor of
this glamorous Canadian city.
At the world-famous Em-
press Hotel in Victoria on Van-
couver Island, the "Spirit of
Christmas Past" stalks the
halls as costumed troubadours
serenade guests with -
madrigals. And, once again, the

companied by liveried lackies,
cheeky page boys, and the
inevitable jester in •age-old
motley.
The Elizabethan custom of,
tossing holly sprigs on a blazing
Yule log to symbolize the
erasing of last year's mistakes
and indiscretions still takes
place at many hotels.
Other hotels in the Victoria
and Vancouver areas also in-
troduce the Elizabethan note
with carollers, boars' heads,
surprise gifts, special entertain-
ment for children, and menus
printed on scrolls tied with gay
ribbons. Indeed, the hotels
have created such .a jolly, old-
time Christmas atmosphere
that ... families •-• 'w'hich-

Christmas now eat out. For this memorable in the entire year.
reason, it is an absolute must Festivities are held in the
evening, and are centered on
the "reveillort", or Christmas
banquet. Its preparation starts
weeks and sometimes months
in advance, for it is a genuine
family reunion and many
family members are invited. It
is not unusual to invite as
many as 30 or 40 relatives to
such a party.
The basic. principle of the
re'veillon is that the quality and
quantity of food, wine and
delicacies must surpass
whatever. is consumed on other
less important holidays.
The feasting commences
around two or three a.m., after
a special Midnight, Mass and
the gift giving around the
Christmas tree, It can last until
the first rays of dawn. There
are countless dishes, all served
to the accompaniment of witty
conversation, gay laughter, and
boisterous singing. A wide
variety of home-made and im=
ported wines are served 'in
wheat to symbolize a bountiful
year ,ahead.
In many Canadian churches
and homes, the most important
and best loved decoration is the
creche, or crib, a realistic
miniature tableau of the
Nativity.
Other groups which hold
their main celebrations on
Christmas Eve serve a distinc-
tive type of food on this oc-
casion. For example, baked
carp is a traditional dish in
families' whose ancestors 'were
Czechoslovakian or Austrian.
Codfish, goose, and. a special
kind of rice pudding form a
part' of the Christmas fare
among Scandinavians. In the
pudding is an almond, and it is
believed that whoever gets the
almond is sure to have his wish
fulfilled.
Among Estonians the Christ-
mas meal often centers around
roast suckling pig rolled in cab-
bage, cookd in the oven and
served with vegetables and
sour cream.
In Newfoundland, children
and adults dress up in odd
costumes, usually old clothes
like grandma's night-gown or
dad's old Stanfields (old-
fashioned "long -john" winter
underwear). ,Faces are covered
with veils-, some with
_Hallowe'en -type masks.
These "mummers", as they
are called, go from door to door
in groups of two to ten.
Disguising their voices, they
ask to be let in to perform for
the householders. The musician
of the group plays on a pocket
comb covered with cigarette
paper while his companions
sing.
The mummers are rewarded
with candy, and Christmas
cake. The children are offered a
drink ntlade from a mixture of
water and thick, sweet syrup
'while adult mummers are ser-

raspberry wines.

spreading a thin layer of straw
under the cloth on the Christ-

stable where Christ was born is
still retained. Straw is often
