Christmas was coming and all I wanted was, a trench coat, detective badge, magnifying glass and a Sherlook Holmes hat and a pair of elevator moon shoes. This year at Moon Base it was going to be different because I would have to buy presents for everyone in my family instead of picking a name out of a hat and buying a present. J never did believe in Santa Claus because when I was five years old I did some detective work in my mother's closet and found a big bag of presents and on Christmas morning I found all the presents that where in the bag beside my stocking. Christmas Eve was going very slowly because I was all alone in our big house doing nothing. I went to bed early Christmas Eve and hoped for all the presents that I put on my list! It was four oclock in the morning when I woke up and was running down the stairs to see what I got. There was a big box addresed to me and I started to rip and tear off the wrapping paper and Moon Base opened the top. In it was all the things I asked for on the list was in the box plus a detectives hand book. All these things gave me a boost in the detectives business and soon led to my first case, "The case of the stolen cheese."

P.0, Box 1585 Exeter, Ontario NOM 1S0 Drawn by Tracey Rock, J.A.D. McCurdy The first Christmas BY VICKI PARSONS Usborne Central One day in Nazereth there lived two people whose names were Mary and Joseph. An angel came and told Mary that she was to have a baby. Two months later a man named King Herod wanted all the people in Bethleham counted. That meant that Mary and Joseph had to go because Bethleham was Joseph's home town. Mary and Joseph got their donkey to travel with. Mary rode on the donkey and Joseph led it. It was a long walk for Joseph but at last they got there. They went to the Inn but there was no room, but the Innkeeper was kind enough to offer his stable. They went to the stable Christmas Spirits BY CRAIG KERSLAKE Grade 8 Usborne Central Through the years Christmas has changed in its ways. There are a lot of people who think of Christmas as being a time to go buy big expensive presents. They are forgetting that it isn't the present that counts, its the thought behind giving it. If everybody gets a good thought about Christmas it will make it a happy, time for a long time. Santa Claus has been the Christmas symbol for years and let's hope he is beleived in. There isn't an old man who flies from house to house giving presents but anyone who gives presents and makes people happy is like a Santa Clause. So, remember, that Christmas is not just a time to buy gifts. It is a time to please or make other people happy through gifts and feelings. Christmas Presents BY CARRIE TIEDEMAN Grade 4' Stephen Central Undei the tree, Pretty presents I see, Big ones and little ones, For you and for me, Santa is coming, On Christmas Eve, Bringing toys and gifts, And a typeriter for me.

Give them one tablespoon daily, If they are better by Christmas they may go out. Keep them warm. I'll be back next month, That's about it. Sincerly yours, Sam Stocking The Spirit of Santa Claus BY JACKIE BAPTIST Grade 8 Usborne Central Who do you think of when I say Christmas? So you think of jolly elf with a white beard and one who rides the world on Christmas eve? I know I do, Santa Claus has always been a big part of Christmas in our household, To ,young people Santa Claus is the man I just described but to me Santa is not only a single man but everyone in the world who gives a gift at Christmastime Santa is also a feeling of warmth and love for manking. He symbolizes love for chidren and he loves them enough to give them all toys. I know it sounds corny but it's true. Christmas is a very special time for me because it makes me pleasant. It's kind of like a spell that comes over me about December fifteenth and lasts until the new year. Friends visit and pals which haven't been seen for a year return. You can't help but feel happy. My advice to anyone who is having a problem getting the spirit is to go out and buy a present for somebody and be a Santa Claus yourself. Rudolph's Log For The Trip To Your House and a manger was already there. Joseph went over to get some fresh straw and put it in the manger. A few weeks later the baby was born. Mary called him "Jesus". The day that Jesus was born a huge star rose in the sky. Then an angel came down to tell three wise men that Jesus was born. The angel told them to follow the star to Bethleham. There they found Jesus. The wise men gave Jesus Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. King Herod heard about Jesus's birth and ordered him to be killed, All the little baby boys under two were to be killed. 'Two or three years later King Herd died and an angel came and said that it was safe to go back to Bethleham. There they were safe and Jesus began to grow. That is the story of The First Christmas. We have Christmas to celebrate Jesus's Birthday. We give gifts because Jesus got Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. We should give gifts too. Why Snow? BY DEBBIE LARKIN Grade 5 Mt. Carmel School The reason why we have snow, is that each year, around Christmas time, a little angel is born. It is a big celebration. Each baby angel gets to do one thing that they want good or bad. All the little angels like to take a star out of the sky and keep it. Vnside each star is snow, and it snows and snows, until all the snow is gone from that star, Sometimes we have a storm, because there are many angels born; or because the little angel gets a little carried away! That's why it snows, BY PAUL LOVE Stephen Central This log was made by Rudolph the reindeer himself. It was written in 1977. December 1, 1977 The first of the Christmas letters came today. We had 10,000 to answer. Santa took us for a practice run to his storage plant 100 miles away from Alaska. We flew at 1,000 ft, December 10, 1977 The post office storeroom is full of letters. All the elves are begriming to get sore hands. Comet pelt, a visit to the vet for a check up. December 20, 1977 All the reindeer are looking forward to the long trip to all the houses in the world, December 24, 1977 Santa checked us over to make sure we were in shape and ready. The elves are looking forward to the days ahead for some rest. December 26, 1977 The elves and reindeer have all gone to bed. We stayed up late last night till 6;00 am North Pole time. I will fall asleep right after I write this.
