Despite the hardships, earlysettlers maintaines a sense of play. Neighbours would gather to slideon frozen lakes or down hills on toboggans; they'd build snowmen and battle each other in snowball fights; always aware of the glowing firethat wwas waiting for them when they finally returned home - a special wintry comfort that continues to warm hearts to this day.
