Christmas means different things to different people. So does family. To Richard Todd Canton, it means his revisiting life as a boy in a house that his father built for his family on Russell Street in Amherst, Nova Scotia. Remembering happy times as well as the sad ones is all a part of life. Christmas also brings with it fond memories of his mother, who filled their home with life, laughter, and love. All Things Family and Christmas offers both a sentimental journey and a reminder to all busy people that its important to take a moment to slow down and enjoy the holidays.

All Things Family and Christmas is the second collection of stories based upon Cantons life growing up on Russell Street. It offers a poignant, heartfelt window into the life and memories of a grateful son and husband. From the wonderful memories of Christmases long past to the memorable characters that he encountered along the way, Canton paints a picture of interesting people and wondrous memories that are the foundation of his history.
