i recieved many e mails about my story , it was just about a typical rural christmas in Canada back when i was a kid > i know its sounds romatic but that was just "the holiday" the rest of the time it was just plain hard/hand labour the brought you succsess .bales of hay weighed 100 pounds if you had a baler ,grain in bags the same . Cash was not in abundance we didnt have a fire department or ambulances and the hospital was 10 miles away . Niether did we have vactionations for the simplist diseases .Women would die during child birth and infant mortality was high and travel of any distance was by train We live in the best of times ,now, by no means i have no regrets of the past but we have it good today that why every day is christmas for me~ Copey
