A Slice of Christmas Past
As the holiday season approaches, we often find ourselves yearning for the simpler times of Christmas past. The warmth of family, the joy of giving, and the magic of the season seemed to shine brighter in those simpler days.
For those of us who grew up in rural areas, Christmas had a unique charm. The snow-covered fields, the twinkling lights of the village Christmas tree, and the cozy warmth of our homes created an unforgettable tapestry of holiday memories.
These vintage stories from rural Prince Edward Island will transport you back to those bygone days, where the Christmas spirit was alive and well in every corner of the countryside.
The Christmas Tree
In the days before artificial trees, every Christmas family had the tradition of going out to cut their own tree. This was a much-anticipated event, and the whole family would pile into the car and head out to the nearest forest.
After much searching, they would finally find the perfect tree - a tall, stately fir with branches that would perfectly hold all their ornaments. The tree would be carefully cut down and loaded onto the car, and the family would return home filled with the spirit of Christmas.

The Christmas Eve Service
The Christmas Eve service was a highlight of the holiday season in rural PEI. The whole community would come together in the local church, their voices raised in song and their hearts filled with joy.
The church would be decorated with twinkling lights and evergreen boughs, and the smell of fresh pine would fill the air. The children would be dressed in their finest clothes, and the adults would share stories of Christmases past.
The service would end with a candlelight procession, and the congregation would sing "Silent Night" as they made their way out of the church. It was a beautiful and moving experience that brought the community together.

The Christmas Dinner
No Christmas celebration would be complete without a traditional Christmas dinner. In rural PEI, this usually meant a roast turkey with all the trimmings.
The women of the family would spend days preparing the meal, and the men would gather in the kitchen to help with the carving. The table would be set with the family's finest china and silverware, and the house would be filled with the delicious aromas of the feast.
After dinner, the family would gather around the fireplace and share stories and laughter. It was a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate the season.

The Christmas Carols
Christmas carols are a beloved part of the holiday season, and they were especially popular in rural PEI. On Christmas Eve, groups of carolers would go from house to house, singing their favorite songs and spreading the joy of the season.
The people of the community would open their doors and welcome the carolers in. They would offer them hot drinks and cookies, and they would all sing along to the familiar tunes.
The Christmas carols helped to create a sense of community and togetherness, and they are still a cherished tradition on Prince Edward Island.
