Did you know that the image of a red-
cheeked and jolly Father Christmas was
created in the 1860's to illustrate Clement C.
Moore's 'Twas The Night Before Christmas
or that the use of greenery in today's
Christmas decorations dates back to pagan
origins? .
At Woodside National Historic Park in
Kitchener and Bethune Memorial House in •

December 14 to 31 at Bethune Memorial..
Both national historic parks are ad-
ministered by Parks Canada and restored to
the 1890 period when each was the residence
of two separate but equally famous oc-
cupants. Prime Minister Mackenzie King at
Woodside and Dr. Norman Bethune at
Bethune Memorial.
As visitors to the houses can see,
Christmas in the 1890's was a joyous festival
of light, colour, sounds and smells.
Christmas trees in the parlour were made a
popular tradition by Queen Victoria herself
and are decorated with hand -made or-
naments and lit with carefully positioned
candles: At the time it was the custom for
Christmas gifts to be hand -made as the idea

of store brought gifts had only just begun to
catch on. Popular gift ideas were mother of
pearl card cases, hand -embroidered purses,
beaded pockets and pen wipers. After
careful wrapping, the gifts were nestled
among the branches of the tree, or if too
large, set underneath upon the floor.
In both houses, period decorations are
hung as in 1890; canberries, cedar boughs,
and sprigs of holly are strung and draped
everywhere. Hot apple cider and cookies
fresh from the kitchen woodstoves are serv-
ed to all who enter. At Woodside, costumed
guides sing Christmas carols while at
Bethune Memorial a period pump organ is
pressed into service to play Christmas
tunes.
The Christmas celebrations come at the
end of the national parks centennial year, a
year that was packed full of special events
at national historic parks and sites and
heritage canals across the country.
