Ruth Green — photographed here in the early '50s — remembers knocking on her neighbours' doors to see Christmas trees as a child in St. John's. For St. John's residents of a certain generation, that phrase is bound to ring a bell. Ruth Green, who grew up on Southside Road in St. John's, remembers the tradition well. His family moved to St. John's from the Northern Peninsula in 1950, and his parents weren't used to the tradition. But despite some widespread popularity in and around the borders of St. John's, there's not much information to be found online.
