We're wrapping up our Fun and Festivities series with a little holiday magic! In Canada, December is a time for traditions old and new, and one of them is selecting the perfect Christmas tree—as seen on this coin. Bundling up against the cold, the entire family heads out into the countryside that shimmers after the first snowfall. Songs are sung and stories are told while everyone looks for the future centrepiece of their holiday celebrations. Whether opting for a pre-cut or "cut-your-own" tree, the experience serves up a pine-scented dash of holiday spirit that will carry you into the new year!
