The Tumeka Leader TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1889. CHRISTMAS.
“ Merry Christmas ” with its timehonored associations, and longcherished memories has come round once more, aud we take this opportunity of wishing our readers the compliments of the season. This is the season of the year to bring back to the memory recollections of the haunts and homes of early youth, and many a thought will wing its flight across thousands of miles of ocean to friends and relations in the old countries. Father, mother, schoolday companions, and bosom friends will be remembered, and with them the associations of childhood’s happy days. Christmas in these colonies is distinguished from that of the Old World chiefly in respect of the weather. We have brought with us most of the old formalities, but we left behind us the frost and snow, and found here glorious summer with nature adorned in all her splendour. Here we have all that can make life happy in this gay and festive season, and it becomes us to feel thankful for it. With these few remarks we conclude by wishing our readers “ A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear.”
