Life at the Top

The end of the year was soon approaching. Jasper’s family had three important meals that they would always have at this time of the year.

The first one was on the 24th, Christmas Eve dinner.

Another one was on the 25th, Christmas lunch.

The last one was on the 26th, Boxing Day breakfast.

The south had just about the same traditions, but they just had the meals at different times of the day.

There were only a few days left before Christmas. Wendy had to return to the province to accompany Dawson. After all, even though he had not said anything about being left alone in the province, everyone knew he hoped his daughter would accompany him during this special day.

Jasper began preparing this year’s Christmas Eve dinner after he said goodbye to Wendy.
