Show detail Hide detail

The theme for this episode of FOR THE PEOPLE is Christmas as it was in days past. The show opens with a song performed by the Elgin Street School kindergarten class, "I Remember Christmas". Thoughts from the kids of Elgin Street School and the Montessori School on Christmas are given. Three Ottawa area people reminisce about Christmas before the advent of World War One. The people of Hawkesbury talk about Christmas in the wake of the closing of the CIP Mill on November 30. A series of three interviews with Ottawa personalities and their memories of Christmas as children follows. Senator Florence Bird, aka Anne Francis, reminisces on the excitement of Christmas in a big house; the tree; stockings; Christmas carols in the living room by the piano; the lovely presents; the inevitable tangerine in the toe of the stocking; and a time to be young and happy. Ed Logan, a former Ottawa policeman who grew up in Kanata when it was a farm, remembers that everything was homemade when he was a child; waiting for Santa; potatoes and peanuts in the stockings; Church; drinking; turkey; chicken; sleigh rides; and the year Santa brought a gramophone without a handle. He states that kids today have a better time with all kinds of presents. Finally, Budge Crawley, Ottawa's pioneer filmmaker is interviewed. He says he was brought up on Dickens and remembers Christmas as a religious celebration with many hymns. He also recalls: wondering about angels in Bethlehem folding their wings; no radio or television; stockings; a tree with lights, strings and balls; presents; and a time of warmth and gratefulness. A return to Hawkesbury, and how residents are coping. Interviews include: Reeve Lucien Berniquez; Jocelyne and Pierre Charette; and Jean-Guy Giroux and his family. The show concludes with clips from the Christmas pageant put on by the Elgin Street School. <30mn>
