Virtues for study in December are confidence, which all pupils will need for their performance in the Christmas concert, and moderation. Managers of a neighbourhood mall met early in September to find a solution to slumping sales. They decided to have - a contest during December for shoppers to submit their idea of the perfect Christmas gift. Entries would be judged and the winner would receive that gift. This was the story behind the entertaining musical presented at Hullett school at their Christmas concert by Grades 1 to 6. The introduction song, Give Us a Gift for Christmas asked for a gift that would last all year long. As pairs of shoppers entered the mall they -were approached to donate to charity. Their replies ranged from having only credit cards, already paying enough taxes to needing to pay bills. These shoppers of supposedly various ages sang about wanting new teeth for Christmas or always being happy with the slippers they received from Grandma. A shopper who had a guilty conscience complained that Someone Put the Blame on Me. A girl singing troupe, dressed for the roles, danced as The Spice Girls - spices as in baking. Sung by the girls, Why Can't They See the Christmas in Me was intended to make everyone find the real meaning of Christmas. A song about Christmas wrap featured a dozen young male students in caps and sunglasses doing a rap. There was even a song dedicated to the frenzy of Christmas shopping. Posters made by the students on the walls of the stage advertised a number of well-known shops — Roots, Dollarama, Zellers, etc. The imaginary contest was a huge success and the winning entry wanted to raise enough money to give a Christmas dinner to all the homeless people in the city. The Greatest Gift of All closed 'the concert sending everyone home to find the peace, hope and joy in Christmas given so long ago. The concert last Wednesday evening opened with, a variety of numbers by the band made up of senior students.
