Winter Blogfest: C.B. Clark

I have many wonderful memories of Christmas, but my most memorable are the Christmases I spent as a child in Canada’s Arctic. December is a dark month in the land of the midnight sun. You literally never see the sun. The best you get is the sky turning a deep twilight blue with streaks of pink and purple for an hour at sunrise in the middle of the day.

I loved this time of year. Amidst all this perpetual darkness, there were the Aurora borealis (Northern lights) with their mysterious crackling in the bitter cold air as they pulsated with a luminous glow, arching overhead in a shimmering curtain of vibrant colors. The ribbons of emeralds and pinks lit up the sky and took my breath away in wonder.

Our small town of three thousand made the most of Christmas. The houses were lit with multicolored Christmas lights that rivaled the Northern lights. There weren’t many shopping opportunities, but we made the best of it and ordered gifts from the Simpsons Sears’ and Eaton’s catalogues or shopped in the small Hudson’s Bay store that seemed to carry a little bit of everything.

People gathered and shared their Christmas feasts, celebrating with friends and family. Even in the bitter cold (temperatures often dropped to -50 F), carolers went around town, their breath frosting in giant plumes as they sang traditional Christmas carols. Of course, at almost every house they were invited in to warm up and drink cups of steaming cocoa laced with strong liquor before heading out again.

Even now, I long for those cold, dark December nights.
