This Week's Conversation

Terry MacDonald with his daughter Alisha Reade and granddaughter Emma.

The MacDonald family graciously allowed me to interview them about their nine-year Christmas extravaganza at their home in South Pugwash, a light and decoration display that includes a toy donation box. After the tragic death of their 21-year-old son Adrian less than two years ago, they considered stopping but realized Adrian would not want children to miss out on toys at Christmas.
Their heartbreaking story of perseverance in the face of unimaginable grief is in tomorrow's Oxford Journal.
