Christmas Long Ago
By PDreOcUi oGij BROOKSs8100d
Christ was born on Christmas
day,
In a stable manger full of hay.
To see the child of Bethlehem,
Came Three Wise Men.
"Ththe
ey Kb treogu,g,l,it gifts to offer to
"The King of the World," the
angels sing
Christmas is not the gift or thing,
But is the celebration of our
King.
The Best of
The Century
By ROB DATERS
Exeter
One hundred years ago I would
like to have lived because you
would be strong. Today you can
sit around and live on wellfare,
Today you can have more spare
time.
At Christmas time one hundred
years ago you could go and sing
and have a good time. Today
people don't pay attention to
carol singers.
Christmas Eve Carolling
By TAMMY BAKER
Hensall
Twas the night before Christmas
When all round our cozy farm
house
Children were laughing and run-
ning about.
Mother was busy with her baking
and such
Father was reading not saying
too much
The smell of the cookies raced
through our old house
A tree dressed in splendor from
the children's great touch.
I hurried with the chores that I
had inside
For I really was quite eager to be
outside
I opened the door and the sleigh
was out front
And old Nelly was eager to go for
a ride.
The world was all blanketed in
frosty white snow
And everyone was loaded, all
ready to go
Old Nelly the nag was given her
head
To set the pace, my goodness no!
We went round to the farm
houses
To play and sing too
Because it was something we
wanted to do.
As they drove down the lane and
out of my sight
I heard them exclaim;
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD
NIGHT!

As we raise our
voices in hymns of
praise, let us hear the
glory of His message.
Let us rejoice at
Christmas.

What I Think
By LUCY VAN ESBROECK
Precious Blood
When I awake on Christmas
morn,
I sit and think of the Christ Child
born,'
It makes; me think of the years
behind,
Of Mary and Joseph, and Jesus so
kind.
I think of how Christmas has
really changed,
Like a small town growing, being
rearranged.
Christmas was giving long ago,
I think it's great that it still is so.
A town that lives and thrives so
long,
With a good spirit ending never,
Is like the Christmas spirit,
which 'lasts forever. ,
The Shepherds and
Baby Jesus
By JERRY SHAW
Grand Bend
The shepherds were afraid,
When the angels appeared,
Telling the news.
Of the new born King.
Angels said onto them.
He is in a manger,
In the town of Bethlehem,
Under the big bright star."
The shepherds went toBethlehem.
Lead by the bright star.
Bearing a gift of a lamb.
For the baby in the manger.
By DOUG RAYMOND
Exeter
Christmas today is celebrated
with the giving of many presents.
The children get toys seldom
made of wood anymore. The
adults get clothes and other
accessories like vacum cleaner
for housewives and a set of golf
clubs for father. There is usually
a big feast with all the relatives
at it and they usually have
turkey, duck or goose.
By LAURIE ROSS
Exeter
I am writing about a Christmas
when I was seven. I was living in
Dresden Ontario. I woke up very
early in the morning and went
downstairs to find, as I expected,
all the presents under our Christ-
mas tree.
I went into the kitchen to see if
"Santa Claus" had ate the
cookies and milk I had left him.
Sure enough, there was the plate
filled with cookie crumbs.
I was making quite a bit of
noise so Dad came down and told
me it was 2:00 a.m. I went up to
my bed and, try as I did, couldn't
get back to sleep. Finally it was
morning. I was downstairs first,
like usual and hunting to see if I
had the biggest present. I did.
When everyone was up, I started
slashing at the wrapping paper.

On Christmas 1971 at 12:30
p.m I went and dragged mom and
dad out of bed. Leslie my sister
and I hollered and yelled at them
to wake up, so they did. We
opened our presents at 5:00 a.m.
After we went over to Ronnie
Prout's house. He wanted to play
outside and I did too. So, we went
out and started to build a snow-
man. Then some big guys came
and broke him. They started to
hassle with us but we tripped
them by rolling in the snow and
hitting them in the legs, That
night, Ronnie, Janet his sister,
Leslie, and I went to my house.
We had hot chocolate that night.
Then we exchanged gifts.
Christmas Dinner
By JULIE MOCK
Hen so II
Christmas is a jolly time,
Giving and receiving gifts,
And delicious turkey dinners,
A big juicy turkey,
Buttery peas and carrots,
Creamy, mashed potatoes,
And thick turkey gravy,
Now comes dessert,
Yummy Christmas pudding,
Christmas is a very lovely time.
What Christmas Means
to Me
By GREG PROUT
Usborne Central
Christmas is a very nice day,
It's the spirt of giving all the
way,
Not the getting that I know,
When it usally will snow.
Children are happy and gay,
Adults feel the same way,
Everyone gives presents to
mother,
And we don't forget our big
brother.
'Christmas
Joys and Hopes
By LORI RAVELLE
J.A.D. McCurdy
Dear Santa; I hope you bring
A big, fat golden ring.
I also like the gold round band,
And all the stories from
fairyland.
The joys of Christmas are really
fun,
When you open your presents one
by one.
The Christmas tree is bright and
gay.
Gee, I wish Santa could stay,
Santa Claus is big and fat,
And I'm not the only one who's
told you that.
Think about it before you're
fasting.
Because the joys and hopes are
everlasting.

The Real Christmas
By ELLEN VANDEN BYGAART
Mount Carmel
When all the shopping's being
done
And the trees are being sought
Does anyone hesitate and think
About the real Christmas
thought.
This being so many things
Especially the baby christ child
Who lay in the dirty manger
With a face so holy and mild.
His mother Mary beside him sat
The babies father, solemn behind
And then shepherds and kings
arrived
They came from far and wide
There was a bright shining star
In the sky, angels were singing
Home in their stable, an ox and a
donkey
Above the churches, bells were
ringing
So you see my friend, it isn't just
presents, trees, and mistletoe
The main part is really Jesus
And the love for him we should
show
