FINDING CHRISTMAS
By Gavin Van Camp
Grade 8, East Wawanosh P.S.
As the long stretched limo pulled
up to the huge office building
towering over the Toronto sky line.
The chauffeur opened the door with
the greatest of ease, trying not to
disturb Mr. Edwards. The very rich
and well dressed man stepped out
of the car. He looked around and
was disgusted by the sight.
It was Christmas, the show was
falling lightly on the sidewalk,
stores were bustling with the smells
of Christmas cookies and aromas of
fresh Christmas cake. There were
sounds of laughter and joy as the
happy shoppers searched for that
last minute gift. There were
decorations hung on every lamp
post, with families having fun!
It was a glorious day and Mr.
Edwards hated it with every bone
in his body. Ever since the was a
child and his family was poor,
because when Christmas came he
was teased and tormented because
he would get very little for
Christmas.
Every year his anger grew,
building up inside him. He only
celebrated Christmas because his
family wanted him to. He always
gave them the best presents money
could buy. Yet, every year he
would arrange a business meeting
on the vile day.
It was true, his children did get
the best presents. But all the gifts in
the world couldn't buy the thing
they wanted most. Their father's
love.
As he sat down at his long
corporate desk at the law firm
where he worked, he noticed a
small note that read:
Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas
From your secret Santa.
He was the only one in the
building who objected to this
foolishness. He called his secretary
who was, prior to the bellow, filing
her nails.
"Yes, Mr. Edwards", said a
whiney southern voice.
"Make sure my flight to Calgary
and hotel arrangements are in
order. Oh, yes remember to get the
courier to deliver the presents on
Christmas Day not Boxing Day like
last year - they didn't stop crying
until New Year's eve," said a
grumpy Mr. Edwards.
"Yes, Mr. Edwards," she
mumbled.
Mrs. Edwards opened the
envelope from her youngest son
Curtis that had been placed on her
pillow. It red in a messy crayon
smeared second grade printing.
Plees mom al i wont
fore christmis is
dady horn fore it.
Curt.
She wept silently so as not to
frighten the children. Everv day sb'' t
prayed that he would change, but
she know that it was all in vain.
The huge Boeing 747 lifted off
the ground with the greatest of
ease. Mr. Edwards gave a sigh of
relief. He had done it! He sat
peacefully in his first class arm
chair looking over some documents
of his upcoming case.
Something caught his eye. Sitting
there just seats away was a whole
family. There was a- mother, a
father and two young boys. They
were so happy, the mother was
holding the father's hand and the
boys were smiling from ear to ear.
"Thank you so much dear," said
his wife.
"Daddy, you're the best!" giggled
the one boy. "This is the best
Christmas present ever, I love
