Ellen loves peing with family, friends
by Ellen Husk,
Gr. 5/6, LCPS
I love Christmas. It is my most
favorite time of the year. I enjoy
being with family and friends and
caroling in the frosty air. Best of
all, I like the hustle and bustle.
I love to go Christmas shopping
to see the sights and look in store
windows.
When we get home we get out
the tree and decorate the whole
house:' We sing carols and trim the
tree. Last but definitely not least,
Mom, puts the star on. 1 have my
own decoration from when I was
born. One Christmas my aunt made
me an ornament to put on the tree.
(I always get to put on those two).
Once the tree is up, we wrap the
gifts and stuff them underneath the
branches. Everybody starts shaking
and squeezing their presents. Then
we try and guess what is in them.
M -m -m -m! What's that delicious
smell coming from the kitchen?
Baking Christmas goodies is fun
and yummy. We help Mom dip the
chocolates, roll the cookie dough
and sample some cake. Then when
visitors come over they'll get to do
some taste -tasting too. When we go
to visit relatives we can take some
goodies to them. Visiting relatives
is always fun, and we enjoy seeing
them.
We hate to leave but it's getting
late. Why not go light watching
before we go home? I look forward
to seeingthe lights. In town they

can be so beautiful. As we pass
each house you can see all the
different scenes, while we listen to
the Christmas songs on the radio.
When we return, we turn on the
T.V. to a good family Christmas
special. Dad grabs a can of nuts.
While we're munching away Mom
turns on the tree lights. It's
Christmas Eve and we better set out
a snack for Santa and his reindeer,
but we can't forget the real
meaning of Christmas. We get out
the Nativity Scene and put it under
the tree for all to see.
Now it's getting late and time for
bed, but first Mom reads us "The
Night Before Christmas." After the
story we all get into bed and try to
go to sleep. When I wake up it's
Christmas morning. We all rush
down stairs and what we see is
amazing!
Once we're all down stairs we
start opening the presents and ,
looking in bulging stockings. It's
exciting for everybody.
Our family has a wonderful
Christmas and I hope your
Christmas will be filled with joy
too!
It's a fun and exciting time
Christmas at My House...
by Lorraine deBoer,

Christmas with my family is a
great time. We do a lot of things
together. I really like Christmas
with my family because it is very
fun and exciting. We usually• make
gingerbread houses each year.
Gingerbread houses are fun to make
but they are very tricky! Usually
when you get two sides up, then the
first one will fall down. But I al-
ways have lots of fun making
gingerbread houses with my family.
Another thing we usually make at
Christmas time is wreaths, we don't
do this together, but my Mom and
I usually make wreaths together.
We get some needles from the bush

off of trees, and then we wrap them
around wire, and with a glue gun
attach nuts and berries. 1 really
enjoy making wreaths with my
Mom at Christmas time.
I enjoy Christmas at my house
and making crafts for the season.
