W hat exactly is Christmas spirit? The Grinch pondered that perhaps Christmas means a little bit more than what you find in a store. It means something different to everyone. The people of Champlain share what Christmas spirit means to them. “As a child growing up in Europe, I remember the excitement of getting a present,” recalled Gisella Feldman from Hawkesbury. “The smell of the fir Christmas tree, the wax candles, baking, and oranges, which we could only afford at Christmas. As an adult, I saw Christmas through my children’s and grandchildren’s eyes, their anticipation, the glow of the lights and decorations everywhere, snowy landscapes and ice flowers on the windows.

Christmas is about love, sharing and caring.” For Charlie Brown’s best friend, Linus Van

Esther Bryan, creator of The Quilt of Belonging, from Williamstown, has similar beliefs. “The Christmas spirit means remembering and following the spirit of Christ, the example of sharing with others, of giving to those who are in need, of loving others, even the unlovely, and of seeking peace on earth.” Gratitude and helping others “Christmas spirit is about demonstrating what we should all be practicing year-round,” conveyed Sara Baxter, resident of Chute-à- Blondeau. “It’s about showing gratitude for our own blessings by going out of our way to help others. It’s about spending time with family and being in no hurry to be anywhere else.” Children have their own swing on what
