What would Christmas be without
the music, both religious and secular
of the season? Those familiar songs
and carols are all part of the tradition
of Christmas. Combine that with the
excitement of children and a concert
becomes the perfect venue for
showcasing a school's musical talent.
Under the direction of Ms Wyatt,
Hullett school presented an evening
of music on Wednesday, Dec. II
titled A Family Christmas
Celebration. Numbers by the school
band such as We Wish You A Merry
Christmas, Christmas Is Coming and
Deck the Halls got the evening off on
a musical note or two.
Three times during the evening, the
audience had the chance to share in
the singing. Travis and Kim Teed
assisted with these carol sings.
Santa, You're My Hero •and

happy. It was agreed that everyone
is happiest when they spend time
with family and friends. That is why
Christmas is such a special joyous
time.

In his message Mr. Williams noted
that true joy comes from God's gift,

one's life is a testimony for God to
others and that testimony should be
one of joy. The season of Christmas
is a time for Christians to

church is about.
A smile to the world is a light, a
sign of joy in the knowledge of
God's grace-.
