This Christmas is the one I will be spending in my Christmas Childhood Home—here on the sea bound coast of beautiful Nova Scotia.
Memories of Christmas past keep coming in with the tide washing up warm memories. I have taken to call them, ‘Ghosts of the Coast’.
Prime among them are indelible memories of my Aunt Edie, my father’s eldest sister who pressed gingerbread men through the orphanage wrought iron fence to me and my siblings at Christmas time.
Like images on a kaleidoscope come visions of the dolls found under the tree on Christmas mornings, in pre-orphanage days, the ones allowed to be taken with us on Christmas Day when visiting our mother’s friend, Bernice.
Oh, how I hope that children of our day, now subject to Drag Queen ‘entertainment’, can find Christmas memories that go on to last a lifetime.
Some of this year’s Christmas Card greetings that grace the fireplace mantle in what I call “Our House by the Sea’ come with wishes: “I hope you enjoy your first Christmas in your new home”.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.

Merry Christmas from an old man who was born and raised in Cape Breton. Haven't lived there in many years but still visit regularly.

Judi, you made me want to go back to the "old days", when Christmas was what you described in your beautiful article. As you know, I'm way down in the deep South but your lovely home made me want to be there too.
I wish and pray for you and Brian to be safe, happy and warm and I'm sending much love and appreciation to you, "Yankee" and everyone in that village, it sounds like something very peaceful. We love both of you for your Faith and your honesty.~~~~~~~Totsy
