WORK. Santa was very surprised, but then he realized that all the Elves had been working night and day for the past few months. He thought about it for a few hours and then he came up with the answer, he'd set up three shifts! The Elves thought it was a marvellous idea but Santa knew it had one problem, the progress would be a little slower, but if they worked steadily they might make kin time for the deadline, which was. Christmas Eve. Then Santa set up the shifts, morning which was from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., afternoon which was from 4 p.m. to 12 p.m. and night which was from 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. So if Santa is a little late this year forgive him because it wasn't all his fault. 14110101110,101 ;14 I tWrigt0'; t I et' WAMA`W.t4;i1RgiVi'tOVNil P• iVrtl etlil0F411F4 IMZICON't KINSMEN DELIVI fruit Thursday to gifts from Kins OODIES — Members of the Exeter Kinsmen and Kinette :clubs delivered baskets of th Huron Hospital patients.

Johnny had noticed lately how everyone wasn't arguing, cleaning their plates and doing the dishes without being told, Mary washed, Becky dried and Johnny put away. When I asked mother she said, "Christmas is the day that Jesus Christ was born." "Who is Jesus Christ?" asked Johnny. Jesus Christ is the founder of Christian religion. "Why do we have Christmas mother?" "We have Christmas so we can celebrate the yearly celebration of Jesus Christ's birthday. Son we celebrate your birthday every February 22nd, right." "Yes". "Well we celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday on december 25th." "Now do you understand?" "Yes, mother, better than Becky and Mary explained it," The next day was Saturday, Johnny wanted to know some more on Christmas. This time he went to his father. "Dad will you please tell me about Mary, Joseph and Jesus." "All right my son," "Mary so much wanted a baby and so did Joseph. God told her she would one day have a son who will save the people from their sins." "Dad what are sins?" "Sins are breaking the laws of God.

Christmas Eve By JOE STRAUGHAN Grade 6 Exeter P.S. On every Christmas Eve, the air, like a glove, brings peace, tranquility, mirth and manna to the earth. In the souls of all men, they realized that the fire of everlasting love is highest on Christmas Eve. You may notice this as you hang decorations. Your entire being feels strange with love, mirth and friendship, Want and trouble are kept out as all goods are seasoned with love from above. This is what Christmas Eve is all about.
