Produced by the NFB under the auspices of the Government of Canada Multicultural Program.

A visit to a family of Canadian-Ukrainians at Christmas, the time when a wealth of traditional customs are most in evidence. The family is that of a prosperous Winnipeg lawyer, the son of immigrants, who has reason to take pride in his accomplishment. From the carols and folk tunes at the gathering, from pictures in the family album, from the midnight Mass and the Christmas feast, there emerges a warm, compelling portrait of Canadian-Ukrainians at home in Canada.
