Welcome to Litsy!

Christmas in Canada weaves a tapestry of stories past and present. It celebrates the many dimensions of faith brought to life by a vibrant, resilient, large-hearted people. It captures the hopes, disappointments and abiding faith of a multicultural country. But most of all, it celebrates a season as richly diverse as the people who honour it. The twenty-four stories in this collection poignantly re-examine Christmas Past, in turn challenging, moving and encouraging the reader to discover the true meaning of the holiday season. From the inspirational tale of Father Jean de Brebeuf, composing his now-famous carol for the Huron people as a means of winning them over to the Christian faith, to the eerie account of the lighthouse keeper's wife in Nova Scotia for whom the storms of Christmas Eve bring an inexplicable visitation, Christmas in Canada is a true examination of Canadian spirit.
