How far would you go for a loaf of homemade bread and some Christmas lights? For one particular member of the Czech Republic, a trans-Atlantic journey of over 4,000 miles would be fine—as long as the trip was during Upper Canada Village's annual Alight At Night festival. “Five years ago, this woman came into the bakery and said she was from Czechoslovakia,” recalled baker Keith Johnson, a 24-year Village veteran. “I gave her a loaf of our homemade Village bread to take home with her.

Hundreds of humans lined the hillside adjoining the tracks, decked out in their warmest winter apparel and carrying plastic bags brimming with non-perishable foods. Huddled together like Alaskan musk oxen for warmth, members of the crowd laughed, chatted, even sang Christmas carols together as they waited for their train to appear. |
