| A Prince Edward Island Christmas |
| Nowadays and Long Ago |
| Text by Deirdre Kessler Photographs by Wayne Barrett and Anne MacKay |
Perhaps because islands are naturally protected from the
mainstream of life, the traditions that enriched the lives of the
first arrivals endure. On Prince Edward Island, family,
community and economic life still reflect traditional customs
and values, especially during the most celebrated holiday:
Christmas. Behind the glamour of Christmas lights, the search
for the perfect Christmas tree, Christmas concerts and
home-made gifts, skating on outdoor rinks and sticky-raisin
fruitcakes create the age-old feeling of joy and expectation.
In this charming reflection of then and now, award winning
author Deirdre Kessler and acclaimed photographers Wayne
Barrett and Anne MacKay team up to create a lasting
reminder of old-fashioned Christmas.
