Besides going to Eaton's in Montreal to meet Santa, we would also walk a few blocks down St. Catherine Street - now Rue Ste. Catherine - to Ogilvy's. Their window was always quite spectacular.
Looking out one Christmas Eve at our neighbours' kitchen across the driveway - there was Pere Noel - Santa. I think he made a stop at our house as well.

Lachute always had lots of snow in the winter. When there was a big storm, we all listened to CJAD Radio from Montreal to hear whether our school would be closed for the day. There were lots of kids bussed in from the country so it sometimes was closed.
There was a small hill in our neighbourhood and when the driving was bad you could not get up the hill. Wilson's Hill - named for the paper mill nearby - no longer exists because of a street redesign.
