Nobody found it, I even hid one under the bed, one in the clost, and one in the teller behind the stairs. At Christmas everybody looked for them. Nobody found them and I had to get them myself. Jimmy Webb Grade 3, EPS THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE There was a doctor in Ger- many who always had to go out into country to help the sick. One Christmas he had to go out in the country. On the way home he went by a river by the river was a: little tree. It looked like it had jewels on it. When he got home he put some water on it and it froze. In the morning he called his family. And that is the way we got our first Christ- mas Tree. Robert Whilsmith Grade 5, EPS CHRISTMAS IN HOLLAND Christmas in Holland i s cele- brated on Dec. 6.

One came from the moon, one came from the sun, and one came from Christmas land. They came to scare people from their homes on Christmas day. The m e n scared the people because they wanted to decorate the houses. The people thanked the men from different planets for what they had done. Because the people were so thankful the men gave gifts to the children. Howard Jones Grade 3, EPS WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS To the children Christmas is Santa Claus.

Patsy Wilcox Grade 5, EPS THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS TREE In a forest where they sold Christmas trees there lived a little, little Christmas tree. It seemed that no one wanted to buy him. There were only ten more Christmas trees to be bought. Then ten cars came and took the ten Christmas trees. The little tree was left all alone. He was so sad. Then all of a sudden, some people came and took him away. Now he is so beautifully decorated, that he is the happiest tree of all. Valerie Flynn Grade 3, EPS BAKING CHRISTMAS GOODIES One Christmas night there was a bake shop. A man and lady owned it. They were poor. That night 16 little elfs came.

Brad Brintnell Grade 3, EPS THE CHRISTMAS TREE IN TOYLAND Once when I was dreaming, I was in toyland decorating the biggest Christmas tree in the world. I was putting on the big- gest Santa Claus. When I was finished I said, "It's going to take a long time before we'll get it decorated." Then the real Santa Claus came marching down the laneway with his elfs with him. He called their names and they started to work on the great Christmas tree. They put on the lights, then the bulbs, then the picture of Santa Claus. When everything was done I woke up. Vaughn Ostland Grade 3, EPS A DREAM IN TOYLAND One night when I was asleep I had a dream about being in toy land. I dreamed about me being a little bear so that I could be in a little girl's arms.

Elizabeth Sanders Grade 3, EPS THE TOYS CHRISTMAS A long, long time ago, toys came alive at night, when nobody was around. They danced and sang. But there was one little ballet doll, who sat all alone in one dark corner. Then one night a little fairy came to see the toys. She said to the lonely doll, will make you queen of the toys." The little doll was so happy, that she danced with glee. She was very kind to the toys for the rest of her life.

O WUERTH'S Exeter 235-0611 THE STORY OF THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE It is told that on Christ's first birthday all the angels of the Lord brought nature's most precious gifts to make a beautiful Christ- mas tree. First they brought the brilliant stars to give the tree light. Next icicles and snowy pine cones were used to decorate the out spread branches of the stately ever- green. Droplets of shimmering water and sparkling snowflakes were sprinkled on the narrow green pine needles. From the far corners of the world flew many brightly colour- ed birds and added all the col- ours of the rainbow to God's tree. The cresent silvery moon shining overhead made a pictur- esque background for the glowing Christmas tree. Today at Christmas time we still celebrate Christ's birthday by, decorating an evergreen and calling it a Christmas Tree.
