Taken from Chapter 7: Christmas in an early town In the early towns, Christmas was often a time for rowdy activities. There was drinking, cock-fighting and sleigh racing. Christmas was a time to let loose and forget all the hard work of making a new home in a new country. People who lived in the early towns were closer to their neighbors than those who made their homes on the frontiers. It was easy for these townspeople to get from house to house. Many parties and balls were held during the Christmas season. While these people danced and partied, others who had just arrived at their plot of land in the bush had to work night and day to build their new home in the wilderness. With each new Christmas, new towns sprang up in what used to be the forest. As more people settled the land and opened shops in the towns, their Christmases grew into fancier events.
