Travel back in time to when Christmas was a simple affair: children were content to receive an apple, an orange, or a piece of barley candy in their stockings; clothes, meals, and decorations were all homemade; and it was time spent with family--not expensive gifts--that warmed hearts during the holiday season.

This nostalgic collection recalls Christmas celebrations of the 1930s, '40s, '50s, and '60s, transporting readers to the unheated farmhouse bedrooms, thrilling big-city department stores, and cozy barn stalls of rural Prince Edward Island. It turns out one thing has not changed: the most memorable part of any Christmas cannot be bought and sold.

Includes eighteen non-fiction stories, collected and retold by scriptwriter, playwright, and historical author Marlene Campbell.

It is the winter of 1956 in rural Prince Edward Island with snow protecting the fallow land, and ice confining the waterways. But, the season of rest is anything but restful for young Daniel MacDougall, who is juggling many roles, as he strives to fulfill his dream of providing a home and livelihood for his young family, while leading his hockey team to a much sought after championship. To further their own interests, there are those who are determined to make sure Daniel doesn't succeed.

Name Your Game is a compelling story about family, and community and the ties that bind them.
