Remember the traditional joys of family gatherings.
December is a month of sparkling lights and festive treasures. The Christmas tree is the focal point ofthe Season: the guardian of gifts children are ever-eager to unwrap; the storehouse of cherished familymemories that hang from its branches.
The practice of decorating winter homes with evergreen boughs dates back to ancient times. The traditionof setting up an actual tree is believed to have originated inGermany and was brought to Canada towardsthe end of the 18th century.
Anything that reflected light and sparkled was hung on the tree to enrich its beauty. With every glassball and strand of tinsel, the excitement grew-a Holiday tradition preserved forever in this glitteringpure silver coin.
