Interesting Fact

 One fun tradition they had was the kissing ball -- a ring of evergreen boughs with candles, apples and nuts hung in doorway. Although it really represented the return of light after the winter solstice, young men used this opportunity to steal a kiss from any single lady standing under it, hence the name of kissing ball.

Meal schedule

Most canadians skip breakfast and have a rushed dinner during the working week. On the weekends they eat breakfast when  they wake up like us and have a brunch around noon and lunch at 4:00p.m. and have dinner around 7:00p.m.

Christmas in Canada

Christmas usually consisted of opening presents, going to church, then coming home to a feast of la tourtiere, a meat pie and various other dishes, topping off the meal was the Yule log, a chocolate cake in the shape of a log to symbolize the birch log burned in the fireplace on reveillon before the French came to Canada. Dinner consisted of roast goose or beef and plum pudding.
