Criminal Justice in New France
Criminal justice in New France was integral to the successful establishment of a French colonial system in North America.
 New France was no stranger to criminal activity from its very roots.
 In 1608, shortly after the founding of Quebec, Samuel de Champlain executed Jean Duval for allegedly leading a conspiracy against him.
 By 1636, the citizens of Québec began to be charged for crimes such as blasphemy, drunkenness and failing to attend Mass.
 As New France progressed, its legal institutions became more advanced.
 Promulgated across the France and the French Empire in 1670, the Criminal Ordinance of 1670 provided a foundation for New France's criminal procedures and punishments.

Christmas Eve is the day before Christmas Day, the festival commemorating the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
 Christmas Day is observed around the world, and Christmas Eve is widely observed as a full or partial holiday in anticipation of Christmas Day.

The Julotta is a Swedish service that celebrates the time of birth of Jesus Christ.
 Jul means Christmas, otta is the time which is slightly before dawn.
 The service is held every 25 December early on Christmas morning; at 7 AM in most churches, but in some churches it is celebrated at 10 AM, or as early as 4 AM.
 During previous decades, most Julottas were held at 4 AM.
 Traditionally, the service should end before, or at the time of, dawn: hence the word otta is the time just before dawn.
 Historically clergy was obliged not only to say the high mass but also mattins ("ottesång") and evensong ("aftonsång"); today only the ottesång of Christmas remain but has been liturgically changed since and can now be the main service of Christmas Day, wherefore many parishes have no mid-morning high mass on Christmas Day. See, amid the Winter's Snow

 As "Hymn for Christmas Day", it featured in "Christmas Carols New And Old", which was published in 1871 by Henry Ramsden Bramley (1833–1917) and John Stainer (1840–1901). List of UK Albums Chart Christmas number ones
