If there wasn't any Christmas, people one and all would never think to appreciate what they have going for them and what others have done for them. We would forget that Jesus who was born on Christmas • day died for us so that we would be free. Without Christmas people wouldn't be able to be so unselfish by buying their loved-ones gifts and to see their radient smiles as they opened them. In the children's viewpoint, if there wasn't any Christmas they would not have a holiday away from school. every year around the Cistmas season many families and relatives get together and celebrate. If it was not for Christmas the many relatives that lived a distance away would never have had time or excuse enough to go visiting. So you see the whole world needs Christmas for many reasons.

Carmel School One. Christmas Santa was out delivering presents. He came across a small house in the middle of town. He tried go down the chimney but he wouldn't fit. He tried the door but it was locked. He planned to go down the hard way. He'd get in as far as he could then he'd yell blocks away and one of his elves would drop a cement block down and lash him the rest of the way, What he didn't know was that the lady who lived in the house had a boiling pot of stew over the fire. Then the lady came and took it off the fire. When she dipped the spoon in to give it a taste Santa grabbed it. The lady felt him tugging and pulled the spoon Out and said oh dear I'm dreadful sorry and sent him on his way.

He saw me through the window, And he hollered, "Ho, ho, ho," • But soon was no longer near So I stared at his sleigh, until he was really far away, Then I thought "Just wait till next year!"

Meanwhile Mrs. Claus was making all sorts of things she thought would make him better. She finally got one she was sure would work. She took it to Santa who by this time was willing to try anything. He took one spoonful and was all better. Mrs. Claus got him his big fur coat and pants along with his mittens and boots. He put them on and went outside to get the reindeer. He then told the elves to pack the sleigh. Just when he was about to leave Mrs. Claus called out the door "Oh Santa you forgot your hat." Santa ran to the door took the hat and ran back to the sleigh. He then told the reindeer to take him to Northwood. Up, Up they went riding through the sky. And so Christmas was saved.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Liz Cottrell Grade 7 Exeter Public School Jack Frost is out biting everybodyies nose,' and it is only three weeks from Christmas .so we finally decided to put our Christmas tree up. This is traditision in our house. I will tell you how we put up our tree, what we use on it, and the purpose of having it. We bring the tree in from the cold winter and put it in our livinging room. After we do that we shuffle furniture around to see where it looks best. We decided to put it in front of the window so people could see it. Now it is time to decorate our tree. Mom and Dad put the lights on because my sister and I just end up breaking a few light and tangling up the wire. When that is done we can do what we want to the tree with our decerations. Little soilders, snowman, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, snowflakes, foil and whole lot of other things are put on to our tree. When we are done, it looks so nice that we don't want to take it down. We use a tree for Christ- mas usually for putting our Christmas presents under. That is if you are good, but I am sure we are all good children so we should find something. But we have to remember that' the tree is one of many symbles represted for Christmas. NOTHING TO BUY By Brian Moir Grade 5 Hensall P.S.

So with nothing to buy I went sadly home what you would never guess ehat was sitting on my doorstep in the snow. It was the queerest thing you ever saw. It was some kind of bird. It had a head like a chicken, a body like a turkey„ a bill like a goose, and feet of a duck. I called it a churken- doose. Then a thoughtstruck me. What a perfect gift for aunty!

When she arrived at the base of the mountain she saw the rugged climb ahead. She started. It seemed like she had climbed miles. Finally Magnolia reached the top. She ran over to the wizard's cave.

CHRISTMAS TIME By Brian Kints Grade 7 Precious Blood Christmas is a time for fun and laughter When some boys get guns and tractors The girls get dolls and kit- chen sets Sometimes even kittens for pets. Sleds and skis are popular too These give the kids something to do I've always wanted a hamster maze But electronic games are tops these days Some of these games give you information Some help you improve your education A scarf and a hat and maybe a sweater Are also perfect for this kind of weather. Under the Christmas tree you find goodies and toys Which surely pleases all girls and boys But above all Christmas is a time to celebrate Jesus Birth Who came to us to give goodwill to men and peace on earth. Carmel School A TOUGH DAY AT CHRISTMAS By Jim Lewis Grade 7 Usborne Central On the morning of Friday the 13th Bob fell out of bed and broke his neck. His mother took him to the hospital and the doctor said "Bob you'll have to wear a brace for four weeks." The sad news broke Bobby's heart. He would not be able to see all his presents that Santa brought and open the ones from mom and dad: Also he wouldn't be able to open the ones grandma and grandpa would give him. In the hospital they had their Christmas decorations up. Bobby started crying and a pretty nurse came and sat, beside him. "What's wrong Bobby." "I will miss all my Christmas presents." "That's not good is it?" replied the nurse, "but don't cry." Bobby started thinking and remembered that he would miss a hockey tour- nament which was going to be on television. He • was really upset so he blamed it on Friday the 13th. It was Christmas and his mother and father brought him some of his Christmas presents. After that he started feeling happy and he wat- ched his team play hockey on T.V. and they won. But don't forget watch out for Friday the 13th. LIGHTS OF CHRISTMAS By Patti Page Mt.
