Listen "Highlands Christmas plus Hudson's Bay Christmas"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Kate talks about early Haliburton Highlands Christmases plus Paul has 'Christmas on the edge of the world'. Early Hudson Bay trading posts wereisolated, snowbound, frozen places with the clerks, traders, and labourers far from home and their normal family-oriented festive traditions. So how did they adjust? They adapted in ways that created new northern Christmas traditions that have lasted to today.
