What a wonderful memory of hauling our eight foot Christmas tree back home from in over the frozen marshlands around Wesleyville, Bonavista Bay. The teacher would let us leave class one afternoon, a few days before our school Christmas concert to find a large tree. Usually, there were six of us who got to leave early for this special Christmas chore. On the night of our Christmas concert the tree was well decorated with classroom and homemade decorations. We were all so proud of our efforts and seeing our tree so well decorated. The parents and grandparents would bring gifts to place under the tree before Santa Claus arrived the evening of the concert ringing his bell so loudly and jumping all around Wesley Hall. All those memories are as fresh as this morning's snowfall, and the designs of Old Jack Frost on the homestead bay windows. Wonderful memories!   Submitted By: Frank Blackwood
