Canadian Christmas traditions come to life through Canada's best-loved writers.

The joys of Christmas traditions in Canada come to life in Sleds, Sleighs and Snow: A Canadian Christmas Carol, which showcases the writings of Canada's finest writers.

Sleds, Sleighs and Snow: A Canadian Christmas Carol includes memories such as horse-drawn sleigh rides in Montreal, dogsledding excursions in Labrador, musical feasts in British Columbia construction camps, and bittersweet times shared in a remote Yukon cabin. The essence of Canada's Christmas, from early pioneer days to modern times, is captured in poetry, stories, letters, newspaper clippings and reminiscences. Also included are antique Christmas cards, photographs, recipes and drawings that reflect Canada's colorful Christmas season. This is a collection to treasure for many years to come.
