No! a ! This is not the true Tnpanhi g of ettristmas to me because I am a Christian. To a Christian, Christmas is not always gifts and Christmasparties, even though we like those things just bike others, but the true meaning to us is that Jesus Quist was born; and it is His birthday on December 25. That, to me, is the true meaning of Christmas, and I hope it is to you, too a a Have a merry, merry Christmas, all of Jocelyn Higgins Grade ,t LD C,S. The Poor Old Couple Once upon a time there was an old man and woman.They were very pr, and Christmas was corning again. They couldn't afford to buy each other Christmas presents. They believed that they could get each other a present if they prayed about it The old woman had saved same money in her closet The next day she had to go to town. While she was there, she saw a Mee watch that her husband wanted. It cost just the amount of money that she had. She bought it and .took it home to hide in her closet where she had hidden her money before. The old man just had to .get his wife a present. He had twenty big, fat, .nice chickens and sold them for '2.00 each. So the man went into town with Ml0:00. His wife wanted a new dress with a bat and a pair ofshoes. He :got the set for twen- ty dollars. Now they stall wanted a Christmas tree, so he went out and bought a nice big tree. Two weeks lager On Christmas Day, the old woman was up nice and early and baked him. a good breakfast After breakfast, the cine sat in the living room and opened the presents. They thanked God for giving them this wanderFol Christmas.

Janne 'Stain �Gr�ade7 $Cs3lo`GtS The Year We •Shared r a It was a stormy Christmas Eve, when my sister Darlene and I walked out of the store with our arms laden with efts. When we saw a poorly dressed man stan- ding in the snow .selling mistletoe. We walked over to him and asked him why he wasn't at home with his family celebrating Christmas .Eve. He answered us by g, "My family is at home waiting for the to bring home a turkey, .but I first have tosell more mistletoe." Then without thinking about what mother and father would think, we in- vited the poor man and his family over fordinner. It took same convincing, but he finally agreed to came. Darlene went with ithn while I went rune to tell father and mother about our visitors. Then the door opened, and in walked Darlene with the poor man, his wife and two daughters. Darlene and I became friends with the two girls and ourrrents hneamQ friends too. We had a lot of fiat during the evening. We had a great tasting supper, sang songs. of Cyst's birth, laughed about past Cluisttnases and generally had . a great time. Our family bade goodbye in the -wee hours of the morning and watch- ed than walk : into the falling snow. Everyone in my famiy agreed that, that was the best Christmas because we shared it with someone that was less for- tunate than ourselves, and we made lasting fes.
