Christmas Memories
Continued from page 1
knexv so much about it. Yet, in spite oftheir
common connections to Iceland, I knew
they were glad to be Canadians and
fostered appreciation of their new
homeland.
As Christmas comes I cannot contain
tears of appreciation as I remember how
tenderly and longingly these special
pioneers sang Silent Night together in
Icelandic. / remember that they stood to
sing. Real candles would be flickering on
our Christmas tree. They stood in their
moccasins made by their Cree neigh-
bours. I could see tears in their eyes. My
parents welcomed these bachelors who
were all like special uncles to Helga and
me. As they sang, I understood that
somehow the Christ child unites people,
between generations, across oceans, and
through ages.
The essence of such a moment,
captured and recalled with such clarity
and eloquence, provides us with a special
gift from the heart. Thank you, Ólöf, for
sharing this wonderful recollection.
This Christmas will be no different.
Those special moments are being created
somewhere every day of the season.
Perhaps, by ensuring someone’s day be-
comes a little more special, we too can claim
a place in one of these wonderful living
memories. It seems a most worthy goal!
Merry Christmas all! Have a very
happy and fulfilling festive season!
Oh...and by the way...WHY DOESN’T
the snow ever squeak in quite the same
way under our boots as it did for father
those many years ago? □
