A Fort Howard Christmas

Dancing and sleighrides made the winter’s round; we never danced in summer. Fiddlers were most plentiful in those days and the music was enjoyed, if not of the highest order… The friends would assemble as soon after supper as possible, say about seven o’clock. They would be accompanied by Louis Ducharme and dancing would begin immediately. These were our informal parties. There were others for which great preparations were made – Elizabeth Baird, O-de-jit-wa-win-ning (Contes Due Temps Passe)
