Holiday
Embracing the Winter Hearth
When winter descended upon the village of Montclaire, it dressed the landscape in a sparkling blanket of snow. The rooftops of cottages, like mugs of hot cocoa, reached towards the gray sky while the wind whispered gently through the bare trees. The sunlight, rare and timid in this season, barely pierced the clouds to warm the numbed hearts. Yet amid this cold tableau, an unexpected warmth reigned in the homes.

The Flashlight
Growing up in the mountains with no plumbing, and just a wood burning stove to keep our home warm during winter was a difficult way to grow up. At 13, I had to climb into a 5000 gallon tank, halfway full of frozen water with an ice pick because my little sisters were too young, and my father was too large to fit. Breaking off chunks to heat on the fireplace for a warm bath water that couldn't even really be considered an actual bath. It was a bucket filled about ¾ full that we would use a plastic gas station cup with to pour over our heads to wash. Growing up in those conditions taught me to work hard though, I had an older step brother who wasn't around much. So that left the work to survive through the winter up to me and my dad. We'd wake up early in the morning to go hunting for meat. And our summer was spent chopping wood for the fireplace. We also spent many days picking the pine nuts from the ground when they started to fall from the tree’s (which I absolutely HATED... The sap was the worst to get off your clothes and your hair).
