In simpler times an orange and a few Christmas chocolates along with one special toy made every child’s eyes widen in delight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn later years Sgt. Windflower came to work and then to stay in the quiet town of Grand Bank by the Atlantic Ocean where the salt air froze in the wind and the Mounties were welcomed to warm themselves by every fire. As everyone else slept through the night they kept the community safe and unravelled the mysteries that could only come from a special Christmas in Newfoundland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome and warm yourself by the fire and hear their stories.
