The sun rises late but spectacularly! But the warmth at this time of year comes from the fantastic hospitality and gatherings that extend from Christmas Eve through to January 7th which is called "Old Christmas" here in Newfoundland.
We have had the pleasure of sharing wonderful meals and families in the area. The Hoyles (there are 9 children) entertained us often, punctuated by lovely times with the Janes, the Shepherds.
We also hosted a New Year's Eve potluck. Eighteen of us gathered for supper that was followed by dancing at the hall of the Society of United Fishermen.
Now the Christmas decorations are all down and the fine weather that El Nino brought is cooling down. Welcome winter, the wood's in and the fire is lit.
