Looking through family Christmas photo albums? Keep an eye open!
I posted earlier how I'm working on a book about Newfoundland and Labrador mummering traditions, and how I'm looking for people with memories and stories. One thing I'm also looking for is photographs from old time Christmases in the province, like this gem above, from the Winterton museum.
I know holidays are one time when people dig out their old family photographs and reminisce. If you do happen to be looking at old photograph albums, keep your eyes peeled for me. I'd love to find some old family photographs of mummers, janneys, or other Christmastime or New Years traditions, like shooting off guns on New Years, or nalayuk night in Labrador. If you find something, let me know; I'd love to see it!
You can email me at dale@dalejarvis.ca.
Merry Christmas!
