Christmas, Newfie Style

Take yourself back to the 60's in Newfoundland and this is what you get. People were alot closer together then they are right now. Towns were friends and neighboring towns were friends. Everybody knew everyone else and hospitality was frequent. There was no such thing as locks, people didn't have to worry about brake ins or robbery's. Christmas time was no exception to say the least. The doors were kept unlocked through towns, people dressed up in whatever they could get their hands on and walked from house to house dancing to newfie jigs and reels, drinking whatever kind of drink they would have on the kitchen table. It was a grand old time and before they got too hot they would move to the next house to dance until they would get what they would called the devils own cold. Times were simpler back then, today those times are fading fast. Listen to Newfoundlands favorite sons Simani tear up the dance floor and create music that would last a lifetime. Its music that is close to my heart that gives me goosebumps everytime i listen. Though the times have changed, I wouldn't want these things to just fade away.
