This year for Christmas. Cinderella was holding.a big Christmas hall. It was going to be fantastic! All of the cotitmunity had been invited. Everyone from Ariel, out of the sea. to Sleeping Beauty. Maggie's Christmas wish Once upon a time there was a little girl named Maggie. Her family wasn't as fortunate as other families that lived in her apartment building. There were 8 people in Maggie's family. Seven kids and Maggie's dad. Alfred (Maggie's dad) worked as a shoe mender. He didn't get very many customers. because there was a big company in town that mended shoes for people and the mayor owned the company so -most of the townspeople didn't go -to Maggie's father's small business that only had three people;in it. Usually Maggie and her brothers and sisters only -got one present from Santa Claus. Maggie's father Alfred never gave the children presents for Christmas. 'One day When Maggie got to school there was a little girl that looked hungry and cold. Maggie asked her, if she was hungry and wanted something to eat. The little girl said that 4 she would be fine until supper at her house and would probably eat a sandwich and that a sandwich was a lot at her .house. Maggie thought that it was a little odd that the little girl didn't.have a lunch and said that she would probably eat a sandwich at supper. • One day when Maggie was walking home from school she walked passed the place where you sign your kids up for the "Huron County Christmas Bureau." • She thought that she saw her father there hut she thought it was just her imagination. At supper that night Maggie asked her father it' he had any customers that day. He said that he had -two customers. There were two more days until Christmas. Maggie had become friends with the little girl that she had met in the schoolyard that day. Maggie found out that her family was even less fortunate than her own. - One night Maggie saw a shooting star and wished that Alison (her friend) could go to the North Pole with her and see Santa Claus. The next morning Maggie woke up and _she found herself bundled up next to Alison in a snow covered land. They started walking and they found a house .and a workshop and then they saw a building marked "Santa's Mail Room." They went into it and found an old man in a red suit reading letters he said. "Well girls I've been expecting you." 'the girls ran to the old man and asked him if he was Santa Claus. He was and he was waiting for them. Then they took a -tour around the -North -Pole. It was Christmas Eve and Maggie and Alison were getting excited. Santa said that he would drop the girls off when he was delivering gifts in Clinton. That night Maggie and Alison had the'•best Christmas Eve ever. 'not just because they got to go and visit.the North Pole and see Santa Claus but because the.people.of Huron County shared what .they had so that everyone could have a great Christmas. -- Brittany Nigh Gr. 4 The true meaning of Christmas The • true meaning of the poor will get lots of money Christmas is the birth of Jesus. and buy their own homes. our saviour.
