The True Meaning of Christmas
Hi, I'm Faith Melady. I'm going to
tell you what the true meaning of
Christmas is all about. Christmas is
not all about gifts, Santa Claus, snow-
men and trees. It is about baby Jesus,
friends, family, and love. That's how
Christmas came to be. Jesus was
born in Bethlehem on December 25.

Christmas

Christmas is Joy
Christmas is the baby in the manger
Christmas is Hope
Christmas is Love
Christmas is Mary
Christmas is Jesus
Christmas is Family

True Christmas
One day there was a small girl
named Ann. Ann was wallcing around
Bethlehem and she saw a young cou-
ple walk in, so Ann walked up to them
and asked them, "Do you need any
help?" A young man said, "Yes we do
need help, we need somewhere to
stay but all of the inns are full." Ann
thought for a moment and said, "You
could stay in my father's stable but
there are a couple of animals in it but
they don't bite, they love guests."
"OK," said the young lady, "we will
take it Oh, my name is Mary and this
is my husband Joseph. Thank you for
helping us." "No problem," said Ann
proudly. Ann walked Mary and
Joseph to her house. A couple days
later Ann was called into the stable.
Mary and Joseph had a baby named
Jesus and Ann got to hold Jesus "He is
beautiful!" Ann would say to herself
over and over. That night, Ann got a
doll for all of her help.

Christmas story
One day there was a girl and a boy.
The boy's name was Billy, the girl's
name was Ariana. They were very
good friends and they went back in
time about 2 thousand years. They
came out beside a manger and there
was a very bright light so they looked in
the window and there was a baby in
the manger. They went in and there
were two adults who said "Hi, how are
you?" "I am Billy and I am Ariana."
"Who are you?" "I am Mary and I am
Joseph and this is our baby Jesus. He is
Icing. He is the best there is, so he will
help the poor and pray to God. He will
help all that will need help:' "Okay, we
should be going now, bye. I will pray to
God and help the poor':

Santa is back
One day Santa was making toys
with the elves. Afterwards, he read a
book to the elves. Then he had some
cookies and milk that Mrs. Claus
made. After that he had some supper
and there was a shooting star and
Mrs. Claus wished that everyday
would be just like this. So every day
after that was exactly like that day.
On the 20th of December at mid-
night, Santa woke up and thought to
himself and said, "I wonder if I left
the North Pole?" So right then he
packed his bag and left the North
Pole and went to Hawaii. When eve-
ryone woke up they all started look-
ing for Santa but they could not find
him, they looked in every single
room. IThe kitchen, the workshop, in
the barn, outside, the bedrooms and
the bathrooms. Meanwhile in Hawaii
Santa was surfing in the waves, he
was loving his life. He had his own
private suite in his hotel. But he still
missed his life back at the North Pole.
It was Christmas Eve and Santa was
still not back. Right then Santa came
back and got on his suit and got in
the sleigh and flew all around the
world and still delivered all the pre-
sents to all the boys and girls. It was a
successful Christmas and everyone
was happy. All the boys and girls
were happy and they all got exactly
what they wanted and everybody in
the North Pole was happy. Then
Santa explained why he left the
North Pole and everyone forgave
him and then everyone went to

Christmas is because of a star.
Christmas is because of three wise
men. Christmas is because of
Mary. Christmas is because of
Joseph. Christmas is because of
God. Christmas is because of an
angel. Christmas is because of the
stable. Christmas is because of the
animals. Christmas is because of
the manger.

What is Christmas?
Christmas is because a little baby
in a manger,
In an animal stable.
The boy is no stranger,
He is the icing, he is Jesus.
It is not about the presents and
bows,
Not even Santa Claus.
Did you even know,
If Jesus had not been born, there
would be no Christmas.
Christmas is really important,
So you have to remember it is
special.
It is not about hot chocolate at
Tim Hortons,
It is about Jesus.

The True Meaning Of Christmas
Holy stockings and a Christ-
mas tree,
The children open presents and
laugh with glee.
On this day that comes once a
year,
Carolers sing and families cheer.
But the real meaning is some-
thing more,
Something that you will adore.
Jesus Christ was born in
Bethlehem,
He has more value than every
gem.
The shepherds came with their
staffs and their sheep,
While Jesus our savior was fast
asleep.
The wise men brought gifts from
afar,
Following the light of the bright-
est star.
Now you know without a doubt,
What Christmas is all about.

Jesus Christ
Mary the mother of God got told
that she was going to have a baby
and name it Jesus. He was the king
of kings and Christmas. It's not
just about Santa, it's about Jesus.
Santa is the commercial side of
Christmas. Christmas is about
Jesus, not reindeer or Mrs. Claus
and Santa. It all started on Decem-
ber 25th thousands of years ago.
Mary & Joseph were walking to
Bethlehem, there was no room in
the inn so they stayed in a stable.
The wise men saw the angel and
followed the star. They went to see
baby Jesus after he was born. And
the wise men brought frankin-
cense, myrrh, and gold.
