Contest winners share Christmas stories FIRST PLACE (ADULT) OUR MIRACLE CHRISTMAS By Connie Kuc We brought you into the world and you showed us the true meaning of life. It was seven months that we anxiously awaited the arrival of our first baby. We thought about all the love that was awaiting her. Dec. 6 marked the end of a very eventful time for us and the dawn of the start of parenthood. Our daughter was one month early but we were so very grateful that she was healthy! You see she was a twin. Her twin was lost early in the pregnancy. We were never one hundred per cent sure we'd ever get to become a family with her. We shall never forget the time leading up to her birth, her first days of life, her first Christmas and all the other memories we cherish. What we hoped and prayed would happen, did! Our precious little girl spent Christmas with her new family. This perfect masterpiece of our shared love made our life more complete... Jennifer our miracle of Christmas 1979! FIRST PLACE (11-14 YRS) THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.. By Amanda Leger To me the Spirit of Christmas is Christmas lights lit up around a house and on the trees outside. It's a Christmas tree in the house decorated with lights and decorations and of course an angel at the top of the tree. To me Christmas is a happy family waking up on Christmas Day early in the morning and finding presents under the tree in the house. It's also having a big, breakfast and then turkey dinners at usually both sets of grandparents and maybe friends and your own. That's what the spirit of Christmas means to me.

He gave his life for us to live. Some kids don't even get presents. But getting isn't everything it's the thought that counts. You can give presents at White Gift Sunday. Christmas may mean something different to your friends. But it doesn't matter what your friends think. It's what you think. Some kids have advent calendars to count down to Christmas. You can count down by remembering more and more about what Jesus did for us. For Christmas some kids have no idea what it means. They think it's just getting. So at this Christmas why don't you explain what Christmas means to you or give someone a present of get out of the hospital. I miss my Grandma. Jessica Lubbers Gr. 2, Walton P.S.

I hope that my mom gets a ring and real gold earrings and love. THIRD PLACE (11-14 YRS) THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.. By Bronwyn Dunbar The spirit of Christmas isn't just the getting, but the giving and the sharing, the love and the feeling of being wanted. Christmas is that special holiday that brings out a hidden magic that we rarely realize is there. Every year stores make almost all of their profits off of Christmas. Children to adults take their savings to go and buy that special gift for the people they love most. But you don't necessarily have to buy something; children don't often have money so instead they make a gift that may possibly be even more special than any store boughten gift. Around Ethel and Brussels the magic is there almost all of the time. Brussels has a thrift shop and I hope that my Dad gets hunting gloves. Nathan Dewit Gr. 2, Walton P.S. My Christmas Wish, I wish that my Grandma would be happy. She's sad because my Grandpa died. I wish I could see my Grandma. I hope my great-Grandma is going to be at my Grandma McClure's for Christmas. Carrie Leonhardt Gr. 2, Walton P.S. Grey Central School has a white Christmas which gives old but well kept toys and canned foods to the Salvation Army. But it's around Christmas when you start to feel that magic. When all the decorations are up and the gifts are under the tree, the kids have had that last day of school and the party that's been longed for all year. It's then the magic starts. Family comes from far off just for dinner and a visit, friends send Christmas cards, and you have a Note: Open Friday, Dec. 24 'til noon Closed for Holidays Dec. 25 - Jan. 2/94 Open Monday, Jan. 3 tcw days without a fight from sisters and brothers, you may not know but the hidden Christmas magic has kicked in again!
