'I love Christmas'
Hi ! Mary's letting me get a *
word in edgewise again — she
talks about me so much, that
I said it was time I had a
chance to defend myself. Oh,
yes, I read all about me in
the paper -- you'd be sur-
prised what I see in the T-A
when it's on the floor under
my supper dish.
For those of you who
missed my Christmas
column last year, and my
first birthday column in
August, I'm Pepper. I'm ,
black and white, and I weigh
about 60 pounds. I can be
very tall when I stand up on
back legs and stretch out.1
live with Mary and Victor.
I'm think I'm a person, but
people often call' me a dog.
Its very confusing.
I'm also finding it very
difficult to maneuver my
hands, er, paws, on these
typewriter keys. I wish Mary
would bring her electric
typewriter home from the
office, so I wouldn't have to
struggle with the old por-
table. Better yet, she could
take me to work with her,
Anyway, back to my
dilemma. I'm almost
positive I'm human, but
Mary and Victor keep doing
little things to me to make
me feel like a dog.
For example, they push
me off their nice, •com-
fortable bed and make me
sleep. on a mat in the
basement. Oi they sit at the
table and eat roast beef —
later rm just given a bone.
During the day, they tie
me to a dog house, when I
could be inside laying on the
sofa watching soap operas.
Worst of all, they ignore
Me when I'm talking to
them. And I'm sure I'm
speaking English. k
Little things like these
might tend to make me
believe I was just a dog if I
didn't know better.
I 'must admit, however,
that I have noticed one
difference between me and
humans,
They don't smell.
Oh, sure, some of them
stink -- what trying to
say is that. they don't sniff,
They just don't know how to
use their noses.
I mean, how do you know
you want to be friends with a
guy, if you haven't smelled
him first? Humans will just
walk up and shake hands
with a stranger, without
sniffing them out.
You can tell a lot about a
person with just a few sniffs.
For example, you soon know
if they've got a pet of their
own at home, and that will
tell you whether or not
they'll be friendly. You can
usually tell what they had for
lunch, and sometimes you
can even figure out where
they've been.
Humans don't give their
noses enough exercise.
Oh, yeah, this was sup-
posed to be a Christmas'
column, wasn't it? Well,
back to smelling. That's how
I knew Christmas was
coming. I could smell it in
the air.
My first hint was the fresh,
frosty smell outdoors. Sure
enough, it snowed the next
.b e MARY ALDERSON
day.
Then I could smell pine
when I came in the house —
arid there was a Christmas
tree in the living room. I.
sniffed the tinsel garland,
but that didn't tell me much.
It just tickled my nose and
made me sneeze.
Soon after that I could
smell something delicious
coming from the oven. I sat
around the kitchen licking
my lips and wagging my tail,
and eventually Victor gave
me a cookie. He used. tp call
Milkbones cookies — but now
I know there's 'a big dif-
ference.
Later, I sniffed out all the
packages under the tree,
Soon my nose found one with
my name on it, I tried not to
let on, because I didn't want
Mary and Victor to know
that I know -- but I'm pretty
sure I'm getting some new
raw hide chew sticks thig
year,
So I've already sniffed out
a good Christmas. And I
hope all of you smell a Merry
Christmas, too!

Merry Christmas
THE UPS AND DOWNS OF.
CHRISTMAS
By Joanne Kints
Grade 7
Precious Blood
I love the presents that
people send..
I love the stockings that
mother's mend
I love the turkey that my
mother makes
I love the new fallen
snowflakes 4
I love the tinsel on the tree
I' love the presents friends
give to me
I love the snow that carpets
the grourid
I love the children that dance
around
I love the blazing fire and
Christmas treats.
But I hate the cold and harsh
sleet
I hate the high high prices
But its, for friends who are sb
nice
I hate the feel of numb' toes
I hate the cold wind that
blows
The likes of Christmas
overshadows the dislikes
This is a season to love
And spread good will to all
mankind.

LIGHTS OF CHRISTMAS
By,Cassie VanDongen
Grade 3
Mt. Carmel Scho-ol
The lighth of Christmas are
broad and bright
They Shine and twinkle in
the night
They glow so much
I think they'll blow
I wonder if they will ever
burn low.
Christmas lights, Christmas
lights
Bring some life into the
night.
THE SHEPHERDS FIND
JESUS
By Robbie Humer
Grade 5
Grand Bend Public
'School
Once on a cold dark night
while the shepherds watched
their flock, a blinding
appeared in the sky. The
shepherds were frightened
and gathered together to'see
what would happen. They
waited, for a long time, when
all of a' sudden the Angel of
the Lord came down to tell
them great news, She said,
"Do not be afraid for I have
great news, a baby boy is
being born this very minute
in a stall in Bethlehem,"
So what?" said the
shepherd's,
But this baby is the ,son of
the Lord," If that was true
there was no time to waste.
They got their belongings
and rushed to Bethlehem.
When they found the stable
they knelt down and wor-
shipped the baby boy and
then left to guard their sheep
once again.
