Here we come a-wassailingAmong the leaves so green,

Oh here we come a wand'ringSo fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you,And to you your wassail, too,

And God bless you, and send youA happy New Year

And God send you a happy New Year.

Welcome to the December 2010 edition of our Old Fashioned Christ-mas Magazine.

Inside you'll fi nd our annual collec-tion of stories, memories and recipes – and a whole lot more.

Christmas capersChristmas is a favourite time of year

– but not because things always go smoothly, despite what the onslaught of impossibly picture-perfect images consumers are bombarded with might suggest. Quite the opposite. Some of our best-loved memories are forged in circumstances that are trying, even diffi cult at the time.

We're delighted to include a won-derful essay by Ursula Maxwell-Lew-is, our founding publisher/editor and current columnist for The Cloverdale Reporter, on precisely this theme.

In Ursula's 2010 Old Fashioned Christmas offering (page 5) she recalls a particularly memorable Yuletide she spent as a child in a snowy Ontario acreage, with her family, some boot-leggers and a dog.

Speaking of our four-legged friends, turn to page 19 to peruse a couple of tempting recipes for seasonal treats for the trusty canine in your life.

Tasty traditionsThe joy of keeping and sustaining

long-observed traditions is an undeni-able charm of the holidays.

This year we're proud to introduce you to Ev Bishop, a talented writer from northwest B.C., where they know a thing or two about the true

spirit and meaning of Christmas.

As Ev writes in Stir-ring Up Memories (page 9), even the lit-tlest details – such the buttery smudged fi n-gerprints on the pages of an old family recipe book – take on a deeper signifi cance as we ob-serve our traditions year after year.

"Flipping pages stirs up memories that make my mouth water," she writes, explaining how food connects genera-tions across the distance of time.

She wisely reveals: when it comes to food and family, each person must forge her own way, while paying homage to the ghosts of the past.

Sounds of the seasonNothing connects our contempo-

rary world to previous generations and societies quite like music, however. It's impossible to imagine Christmas time without the sound of seasonal music or the joy of singing carols.

In a day when children grow up without ever buying a music CD much less actually wander into a re-cord store – because we've all now got our own, individual playlists buzzing in our iPod earbuds – carols provide some common ground in an increas-ingly fragmented world.

As you'll read starting on page 11, some of the best-loved Christmas

carols are so old their composers are lost to history.

Trivia buffs will ap-preciate the answer to this burning question: What's a wassail?

Further viewingWe also look back

at some of our favou-rite holiday movies, from old classics to more contemporary fare (page 17). You might fi nd some good Christmas viewing suggestions (or gift

ideas?) here.Note: To learn more about the ori-

gins of traditions carried out today, such as sending out Christmas cards or making Christmas pudding, check out Victorian Farm Christmas, a series airing this month on TV's Knowledge Network. It continues at 8 p.m. Dec. 14 and 21 and 9 p.m. on Dec. 25.

From all of usFinally, I'd like to take this oppor-

tunity to thank our readers and our advertisers. Remember to support lo-cal businesses when you're Christmas shopping.

On behalf of everyone at The Cloverdale Reporter, and our families, we wish you the very best this holiday season and a prosperous new year.

By Ursula Maxwell-Lewis“Child! You’re abnormal!” ex-

claimed mother enveloping me in a hug. “Merry Christmas, Darling!”

Picture this: a German Shepherd (normally banned from sharing the furniture), a raven-haired, pigtailed, eight-year-old girl engrossed in unrav-eling “The Red Trailer Mystery” with girl detective Trixie Belden, assorted small treats, a cherry red Christmas stocking anchored at the toe by a Japanese orange, all tucked into (or scattered across) an old four-poster bed.

Susie The Illegal Canine twitched a coal black eyebrow and vainly at-tempted to be invisible.

My 6 a.m. preview of the living room Christmas tree confi rmed that Santa had located our snowy Clark-son, Ontario, acreage. Armed with a new book from the stocking on the bedpost, I was content to let mother sleep in. Amused at my lack of curiosity about the myste-rious parcels under the tree, she noted that perhaps competition from brothers and sisters (she had 10) might have changed my tune.

We’d emigrated from postwar (still rationed) Britain to what was reput-edly the last Indian trail in Ontario. Our fi rst Christmas on the land (now Mississauga) had been in a tent. Surrounded by large farms, we faced virgin forest simply referred to as The Bush. My parents had roughed it, as they put it, until the house framing was complete. Demobbed WW11 British Lieutenant Commanders were discharged with more medals than moolah.

Now, a year later, the framed up house was incomplete, but habitable. Father (an engineering offi cer) was munching chicken in soaring Suez temperatures. Mother and I pio-neered onward, as she put it, in the Canadian wilds.

That was the year I discovered the best presents come in tiny boxes. Among all the marvelous books sent by family in Britain, was a little sil-ver initial ring. I couldn’t have been more thrilled if it had been the Scot-tish crown jewels. During many years of travel the ring vanished, but the memory lingers on.

In those years, the Eaton’s Cata-logue was Canada’s bestseller. In Oc-tober, my friend, Wendy, had arrived at Clarkson Public School resplen-dent in a ‘middy’ – a navy pleated skirt matched with a long-sleeved white and white cotton midshipman-style sailor top. Anchored by blue and white saddle shoes she was the height of fashion. I was green with envy.

“Well, maybe you’ll get one for Christmas,” said mother. I didn’t hold out much hope based on the housing

situation. But, sure enough, Eaton’s and my parents came through. Under the tree was a middy…AND saddle shoes! Both fi tted perfectly. Subcon-sciously I took out life membership in the better-late-than-never club. My world was perfect. No batteries re-quired.

It was also the year Mother got a gun for Christmas.

We’d just had a phone installed – a party line. Three one ring four. In oth-er words, four rings and we answered via the oblong wood wall phone now featured in antique shops.

On Christmas Eve Mother was startled by hammering on the front door. Securing the growling Susie by the collar, Mother blithely opened the door. Between Mother and our

fl imsy homemade screen door stood two men and a woman demand-ing to be allowed into phone their lawyer. Their car had plunged in to the ditch at the foot of our land. No one was hurt. Acutely aware of how little stood between her and the strangers, she declined to let them in and fi rmly shut the door. While they circled the house Mother picked up the phone to ask the operator to con-nect her with the local police – wher-ever that might be.

In true party line fashion the opera-tor responded, “Is that little Ursula’s mother?”

“Yes, it is,” replied mother having no idea who she was speaking to. “There are three people trying to get in here. In a minute I’m going to let this dog out, and I won’t be respon-sible for the result.” By this time Susie

was clearly hunting for bear. The operator reacted instantly. I slept through the whole thing.

Days later Mounties arrived to advise Mother three bootleggers had been arrested thanks to her call. The British relatives were im-pressed and entertained. What an

exciting life Jean and Ursula lead! When mom’s pal Louetta heard the

story, she immediately arrived with a gift for me – and a rifl e for Mother. “John says you and Ursula can’t stay up here alone without protection!” she announced.

“Take that thing away!” laughed Mother waving her off. “The fi rst per-son I’d shoot would be you!”

It seemed all we really needed was love, laughter, family and good friends for a very Merry Christmas.

Oh – and a dog.

Cloverdale604.575.3831

By Ev BishopThis time of year, I’m often found paging through my

cookbooks, daydreaming about what I’ll make for Christ-mas. A lot of my favourites are found in the grease spot-ted, almost translucent pages of my Purity Flour Cook-book – so old that it has linen threads in the cloth of its hardcover. It’s the cookbook I fi rst learned to follow a recipe from, when I was around eight. My mom passed it on to me when I moved out, as her mother had when she did.

I don’t love the book because it has recipes for anything you can imagine (from Oyster Vichyssoise to pancakes!), along with cooking times and temperature charts for ev-ery type of meat, plus substitution and conversion lists – though those things are handy.

No, I love it because my mother’s hand scrawled notes in its margins about how to double, triple, or even quadru-ple some recipes, along with other occasional comments, like “Mmm, good.” There’s even one foreboding “X” through a recipe with impatient capital letters announc-ing, “Doesn’t work!!!”

Just looking at this book invokes the scent of oatmeal cookies baking and home made chicken soup simmering, and memories of sitting on the long wooden bench, feet dangling, in my Grandma Ruby’s noisy kitchen. Snuggled

between my favourite playmates, an aunt and uncle who were my age, I’d chatter and laugh, busily buttering crack-ers to go with my soup.

The sauce-stained pages are a record of childhood events – like how at church or wedding potlucks, my brother and I would stand in line for food, bouncing foot to foot in anxious panic. What if we got to the table too late and the lasagna our mom made was gone?

When fi nished with Purity Flour, I turn to another pres-ent from my mom: a journal called The Cook’s Notebook. With deliciously heavy pages, quotes about cooking, and wonderful brown-ink illustrations, it is both beautiful and besmirched with remnants of further cooking adventures – butter stains, sugary fi nger smears, the odd splash of soya sauce. Its pages contain my favourite recipes, plus special ones I get from friends or family, usually named after them.

Flipping pages stirs up memories that make my mouth water: My Grandma Ruby’s potato salad, a savoury ex-perience unrivaled by any other potato concoction. My Grandma Nora’s trifl e – a fl uffy, jewel-coloured, fruit de-light.

My Great-Grandma Peggy’s shortbread and what it was like to bite into it – the rich, lightly crisp outside, the

Fun for kids in Cloverdale this Christmas!

heavy, sink your teeth into it, melt-in-your mouth inside. Not so much sweet as buttery and decadent.

There was (is!) an obvious bias in my recalling what wonderful cooks the women who surrounded me were. And even as a child, I realized that part of the food’s appeal was what it symbolized: close family ties and good times. Food has the same connective power in present celebrations, but I fi nd that more and more, I like to make certain things because they serve as a link to relationships in the past.

I look forward to one day passing on my Cook’s Notebook, various cookbooks, and scribbled recipe cards. Maybe to a grandchild who will write me a letter: “I’ve been getting ready for the holidays – guess what I made?”

Perhaps she’ll follow that question with words from my own Christmas memories: “Lasagna and Great-grandma Susanne’s mini cheesecakes for a potluck (the kids cried be-cause they didn’t get any), Forsyth fudge for a gift exchange, and your trifl e for Christmas Eve – cooking makes me feel like we’ve never been apart, you know?”

And I will know. I will know exactly. And I will smile (and know-ing me, I’ll probably also cry). Good food recalls family – passing on people’s recipes keeps them alive.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most elusive, such as trying to replicate a beloved dish that's never been written down in recipe form before.

That was the unenviable task awaiting Robin Reum and her sister, who painstak-ingly managed to record an authentic recipe of her mother-in-law's pancake dishes.

The results, she says, were worth it.

2 eggs1 tsp salt2 tsp sugar2 cup milk1 cup fl our

Beat the eggs, salt and sugar together with a wire whisk until frothy. Mix the milk in and then add the fl our.

The dough should be fairly thin. Fry the batter in the bottom of a large frying pan, turning only once.

What's a 'Wassail'? And other carol triviaBy Jennifer Lang

Christmas is synonymous with mu-sic, and many of our favourite memo-ries involve singing along to a carol.

The world's most familiar composers and songwriters – from George Fred-eric Handel, a German born compos-er who moved to England, to Ameri-can punk band the Ramones – wrote Christmas music.

Other carols are so old their cre-ators are lost to time, the authors re-corded only as "traditional" or "anon-ymous."

Caroling dates back to the pagan winter solstice celebration. And the custom of carolers going door-to-door at Christmas time began in the Middle Ages, when the poor went around to homes singing for food and drinks.

The word itself – carol – is deriva-tive of the French word, caroller, which means to dance around in a circle. Over time, it eventually came to mean not only to dance but also music and lyrics.

Carols were banned in England

under Oliver Cromwell, but enjoyed a revival in the Victorian era, when many of our current traditions were forged.

The 12 Days of ChristmasIt's a cumulative song, with each

verse building on the last, ending with the fi nal verse:

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

12 drummers drumming11 pipers piping10 lords a leaping9 ladies dancing8 maids a milking

7 swans a swimming6 geese a laying5 golden rings4 calling birds3 French hens2 turtle doves and a partridge in

a pear tree.It's an English carol about a series

of successively grand gifts originally published in 1780, but it may be French in origin – its irregular metre speaks to its folk song origins.

The 12 days start on Christmas Day or St. Stephen's Day and end the day before Epiphany in January, formerly the last day of the Christmas festivities and observed as a time of merrymaking.

tury England. The origin lies in the tradition of wealthy people who gave treats to carolers Carolers who won't leave until they're given a cup of good cheer and some fi ggy pudding – much like today's Christmas puddings.

Good King WenceslasGood King Wenceslas looked outOn the feast of StephenWhen the snow lay round aboutDeep and crisp and evenBrightly shone the moon that

nightThough the frost was cruelWhen a poor man came in sightGath'ring winter fuel....In his master's steps he trodWhere the snow lay dintedHeat was in the very sodWhich the Saint had printedTherefore Christian men be sureWealth or rank possessingYe who now will bless the poorShall yourselves fi nd blessing

The lyrics were written by Jonn Mason Neale and pub-lished in 1853, but the music originates in Finland 300 years earlier.

Wenceslas was a Catholic king who ruled Bohemia

(which included the present day Czech Republic) in the 10th Century. He was assassinated and martyred. His Saint's Day is Sept. 28, and he's the patron saint of the Czech Republic.

St. Stephen's Feast Day was celebrated on Dec. 26, which is why this song is a Christmas carol.

The Wassail SongHere we come a-wassailingAmong the leaves so green,Oh here we come a

wand'ringSo fair to be seen.Love and joy come to you,And to you your wassail, too,And God bless you, and send

youA happy New YearAnd God send you a happy

New Year.

Wassail is an old English word for a toast, similar to wishing

someone good health. The wassail is the content of the glass or goblet (spiced or mulled wine or ale). Author and composer unknown, but the tradition of going wassailing dates back to the 12th Century and continues well into the 21st.

White ChristmasI'm dreaming of a White ChristmasJust like the ones I used to knowWhere the treetops glistenand children listenTo hear sleigh bells in the snow.I'm dreaming of a white ChristmasWith every Christmas card I writeMay your days be merry and brightAnd may all your Christmases be white.I'm dreaming of a white ChristmasWith every Christmas card I writeMay your days be merry and brightAnd may all your Christmases be white.

Irving Berlin's song – made famous by Bing Crosby, the ultimate crooner – was penned in 1942.

It was commissioned for the score of the Paramount Pictures fi lm Holiday Inn, starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. It earned an Academy award for best song and went on to become the best selling Christmas song of all time.

Silent NightSilent night, holy nightAll is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and childHoly infant so tender and mildSleep in heavenly peaceSleep in heavenly peace

Originally a poem written by Austrian priest Joseph Mohr in 1816.

When the church organ in the small al-pine village of Oberndorf broke down on Christmas Eve in 1818, Mohr gave his poem, Stille Nacht, to his friend Franz Gru-ber to compose a melody suitable for sing-ing without an organ as accompaniment.

The music was intended for guitar, and the simple score was fi nished in time for midnight mass.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerThis song started life as a poem cre-

ated by an American advertising executive named Robert May.

It was written in 1939 for an assignment for Montomery Ward, a department store, May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks adapted it into a song.

In 1949 it was recorded by Gene Autry, and the song hit #1 in the charts.

It became one of the biggest selling Christmas songs of all time.

It's a wonderful Christmas movie list By Jennifer Lang

Cloverdale's historic downtown hasn't changed much in 50 years, making it a popular backdrop for fi lms, TV shows and even commercials seeking a typical small U.S. town.

But there's more to Cloverdale than TV's Smallville. Cloverdale was the set-ting for one of Coca Cola's Christmas commercials. And some of the decora-tions festooning main street were orig-inally props used in Deck the Halls, a 2006 movie starring Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito about two competi-tive neighbours who try to outdo each other in the deco-rating department.

Sadly, the critical consensus seems to be Deck the Halls spreads little cheer and rates a dismal six percent on the Tomatometer, a rating that means just six per cent of crit-ics gave the fi lm a favourable review. It also earned the dubious distinction of one of Ebert and Roper's Worst of 2006. But take heart: the DVD will make a perfect pres-ent for that naughty person on your shopping list this year.

With movie magic in mind, here are a few classics guar-anteed to get you in the holiday spirit:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed ReindeerA 1964 stop-motion animated clas-

sic directed by Kizo Nagashima and Larry Roemer, and featuring the voices of Billie Mae Richards and Burl Ives.

Teased about his light-emitting nose, young Rudolph runs away from Santa's workshop only to save the day when fog threatens to ruin Santa's Christ-mas Eve fl ight. Features such colourful characters as the pick axe-wielding Yu-kon Cornelius, the toothy Abominable Snowmonster and Hermey, the elf who'd rather be a dentist. It spawned

several sequels, including Rudolph's Shiny New Year (1975) and Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1975).

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)Animated and directed by Chuck Jones of Bugs Bunny

fame and featuring the voice of Boris Karloff as the nar-rator. You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch, plotting to steal Christmas from the Whos of Whoville. Poor Max the Dog and little Cindy Lou Who, who is no more than two.

But it's a funny, thoughtful story – a true classic that captures the spirit of the season in a tidy 26 minutes.

Deck the Halls – locally fi lmed.

Merry Christmas


Thank you to our communities and membersof the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association for their

tremendous outpouring of support. Together we collected over one thousand Coats for Kids. The response was so overwhelming we

will be sharing the coats with the Christmas Bureau and the Union Gospel Mission. In a great show of support Cintas, the uniform people,

is transporting the coats to these vital charities.

Our readers opened their hearts and gave a record numberof coats for those in need.

Now in its 19th year, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program (CCHP) has been providing local families in need with hampers of food, gifts and toys. Last year alone over 250 families and individuals experienced just that little bit of joy that they needed to get them through the holiday season.

This program is a combined effort between many local churches, schools, businesses and public organizations. The program is growing each year and we would appreciate your involvement with donations of food, cash, new merchandise and/or toys. No donation is too big or too small – it all adds up.

Help Bring Joy This Christmas...

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel

Barrymore, and directed by Frank Capra. Long-suffering savings and loan operator George Bailey fi nds out what life would be like if he'd never existed. Not a Christmas movie so much as a long, dark teatime of the soul. A box offi ce dud when fi rst released, the fi lm gained cult-like status thanks to syndication on TV.

Much of it is quite bleak, even de-spairing and existential but the story ends in a triumphant celebration of courage and sacrifi ce for the common good. Best ending ever?

A Christmas Story (1983)All little Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Rider BB

Gun. "You'll shoot your eye, out, kid," he's warned time and again, thwarted in his efforts to convince his parents, teacher, and the big man himself, Santa, that he deserves one this year. It's set in the 1940s and written and di-rected by Bob Clark, the same guy who brought you the teen sex comedy Porkys! (1982) and Black Christmas (1974), a horror fi lm about a sorority house terrorized by a prank-calling, homicidal murderer who's clearly lacking in Christmas spirit.

A Christmas Story was narrated by author Jean Shep-herd, who also wrote the novel. Still so popular, the

house where it was fi lmed has been turned into a tourist attraction. Don't forget to bring your Little Orphan Annie decoder pin and be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)Directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Judy Gar-

land. A plot synopsis doesn't capture the true magic of this delightful fi lm, an MGM musical about a family living in St. Louis in 1903 and who is reluctantly planning to move to New York City. Features Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and the memorable Trolley Song.

A Christmas Carol (1951)There's a lot of imitators out there, but this one, starring

Alastair Sims as Scrooge, is the ultimate fi lm adaptation of the Charles Dickens story. Scrooge is portrayed not as a miser but as a tormented, lost soul. Chilling, supernaturaland heartwarming at the same time.

The Polar Express (2004)Directed by Robert Zemeckis and featuring the voice

of Tom Hanks. An animated story of how a boy's faith is rewarded one Christmas Eve when a steam train pulls up outside his house and takes him on a mysterious, thrilling journey to the North Pole – home of Santa's Workshop. Adapted from an illustrated children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. Breathtaking on the big screen, like a storybook brought to life.

ble for 40lb and half for 10lb)Add 4 meatballs to ½ cup boiled rice or sweet potato

*Note: take eggshell from any use

White Christmas? Dream on

"You say your hair is gone?" he said, with an air almost of idiocy."You needn't look for it," said Della. "It's sold, I tell you – sold and gone,

too. It's Christmas Eve, boy. Be good to me, for it went for you.

White Christmases, where there's snow on the ground Christmas Morning or Christmas Eve, aren't a sure thing, at least not on the 'Wet Coast.'

The phenomenon is more common in most parts of Canada, but is something of a novelty here.

In the UK, where many North American Christmas tra-ditions originate, white Christmases were more frequent in the 1550s to 1850s, an era known as the Little Ice Age, which brought colder winters to the Northern Hemi-sphere.

Looking ahead to this December 25 in the Metro Van-couver area, things aren't exactly looking promising for those hoping for a seasonal deposit of the fl uffy white stuff.

The Meteorological Service of Canada has compiled a list of probability of white Christmases in selected cities in 2011.

Vancouver has a 11 per cent probability of a White

Christmas this year – compared to 100 per cent in Sud-bury, Whitehorse and Yellowknife.

The 2011 Old Farmers' Almanac, on the other hand, says forecasts indicate winter will bring above-normal snowfalls and colder than normal temperatures in South-ern B.C. It says it's going to be cold and snowy in the Lower Mainland and northern B.C., and mild and dry in the Kootenays and southern Okanagan.

Winter of 2011, a weak to moderate La Nina is expect-ed to form, resulting in above normal temperatures from southern Ontario and Quebec to Atlantic Canada. Above-normal snowfall and colder than normal temperatures are in store for most of southern B.C. and the prairies.

The fi rst day of winter is Wednesday, Dec. 22.

Sources: – www.bbc.co.uk/weather/christmas/fea-tures/origins.shtml; wikipedia.com; Old Farmers' Al-manac

Will the Lower Mainland wake up to a winter wonderland Dec. 25? Forecasters disagree
