Four brown sparrows sat on the front porch hoping for some pieces of bread. Piper sleepily opened one eye to look at her clock. Ten already! She'd never slept in this long on Christmas morning. She smiled at the thought of all those excited children gathered under their Christmas trees ripping open their presents. Piper knew the real meaning of Christmas, and she thought about the holy child. Interrupting her line of thought came her mother's shrill call, "Piper, get up! It's time for church. She jumped out of bed and got ready. Piper walked slowly to church. The white, sparkling snowflakes fell lightly to the ground. It gave her a feeling of happiness and contentment. "Peace on earth, goodwill to all men." WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME By DAVID BELL Exeter PS It means to me that it is a time we should be thankful for when Jesus was born, for the good times we have on Christmas, and the goodness of giving presents to other people.

A sudden feeling overcame me but I couldn't quite determine what it was. Then it dawned on me; today was Christmas. Hurriedly I dashed downstairs but no one was there. A feeling of fear overcame me. But why was I scared? Everything seemed normal, ' The stockings were all hung up in the right order and the tree was in the same place but a feeling of loneliness seemed to be in the air. I looked out the window. I could see nothing but snow and a distant horizon! "What happened to the town I once lived in?" I gasped in disbelief. It was all too much for me so I decided to investigate. Rather frigidly I opened the door leading outside. I walked slowly around the house_ and there coming towards me 'was a line of creatures with lazars. Then they-all.cocked their guns. I stood there frozen and then,, 1(D -in, wake up," ' I heard, Itf. was Mom. What a dream! SANTA CLAUS IN THE YEAR 2000 By LARRY JOHNS Santa Claus will have a new moterized Ford reindeer snow cart, that will carry two times as many toys as his old slight. It will have one track under neath the cart for fast landings on the roofs. The glass covering over the driver will help him stay warm on stormy Christmas eve's. All though he is wearing his electric suit that he plugs into the cart to keep him warm, there is one thing wrong with this wonderful machine, it keeps geting hijacked to Cuba. Santa Claus will have his beard shaved off. Wearing a black suit, with bell bottoms pants. With a pink shirt and a red tie, and a felt hat. He will still say Ho, Ho, Ho, I wish you a merry Christmas. ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS AND SANTA CLAUS By PAUL MOHR Exeter P.S. It happened in the fourth century in the Asia Minor. A bishop whoes name was St. Nicholas was famous for his acts of charity. He gave hags of gold to a poor man's daughter who wanted to get married. The custom was for the father of the bride to give the groom a sum of money. After the two older girls got married the younger one put up a stocking for the money her father needed.This is howthe hanging of the stocking might have came from, Time went by and now we give gifts instead of money. WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME By ANN DEARING Stephen Central To me Christmas means a happy time when gifts are given and received. • When people get together for a big Christmas dinner. When Christmas morning comes and children, parents, and grandparents open their presents and get just what they wanted. Singing Christmas carols with your friends. Sending Christmas cards and making people happy for remembering them. That is what Christmas means to me. TALE OF OLD By KIM TURNER Grade 6 - Exeter P.S. Now the Christmas candles gleaming Tell the tale of old How gentle Mary dreaming Keeps her babe from cold. • TREES By DAVID TAYLOR Grade 7 - McCurdy P.S. The leaves are gone, and the trees are bare, Soon Jack Frost will have snowflakes,there. Have you ever looked at them on a winter night? They look so pretty in the pale moon light. Spring will come and change the scene They look so lovely in their coats of green The birds will come in the early spring Building their nests while they sweetly sing. Then comes summer and blossoms white, The same silvery look as a winter night Sit still and listen to the busy bee hum Gathering honey in the warm noon sun. Along comes autum with its colours bright It really is an artist's delight. Then a little later comes the smokey air, . And then again the trees are bare. OUT IN THE COLD By JANICE MacDONALD Grade 4 —Stephen Central "Hi" here I am standing in this cold. I wish someone would take me into their warm house. Who is that coming toward me with that axe? `OUCH' somebody cut me down BANG down I go. Where am going? I am riding on this whatever it is. Why are we stopping So soon? Where am I? It is so warm in here. I know where I am. I am in a house. Now I am being decorated. Now I feel so elegant. Can you guess who lam? Givin4 gifts shows love PY AGNES VAN ESBROECK Grade 8 — Precious Blood What is Christmas? The yearly festival (December 25). In honour of the birth of Christ. That is the dictionary meaning and it is undoubtedly correct, Is that what Christmas means, to you? Does it mean buying and receiving gifts or does it mean a big celebration with turkey and all the trimmings? If it does you should stop and realize why we celebrate Christmas. A long time ago. in a cave near the town of Bethlehem the Christ child was born. In remembrance of his coming we celebrate the feast of Christmas. It was for this reason that we made the holiday, so naturally that is why we should keep it. Giving gifts is a good way of showing our love for one another but we must not let this idea of Christmas dominate our minds, We can also show our love for the human race by thinking of the poor people in other countries of the casterp world. We can send the money that we use for our own pleasure to organizations that help those unlucky people so that they may have decent food to eat and clothes to wear at the time when the westernworld is rejoicing and festive. NO ONE THINKS OF THE REAL MEANING! By LOIS ELLIOTT J.A.D. McCurdy Christmas has changed a lot in the last years. Everyone puts up all sorts of Christmas decorations to try to get first prize. They decorate their trees with tinsel, lights, and bulbs. People buy presents to give. Everything. goes commercial even T. V. No one ever stops to think of the real meaning of Christmas. That wise men came from far away to bring gifts for the Christ baby that was born that day. THE SNOW FELL SOFTLY By DEBBIE HILLMAN Grade 8 — J.A.D. McCurdy The snow fell softly through the night Inch by inch gaining height As I dreamed of fairies and kings Little did I know what the day would bring. The valley had turned from green to white, The world was covered by a blanket How had the area changed overnight? How had my wish been granted?
