SEAFORTII 527-0104 My Christmas Wish for the World Kristen McColl Grades, St. James School I wish every child in the world had a present to unwrap at Christmas MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD By Connor Devereaux Grade 6, St. Janes My Christmas wish for the world is that kids realize the importance of Christmas. It's not about getting presents; it is about giving presents and celebrating the birth of Jesus. I wish that every child in the world had a present to unwrap at Christmas. We can help the world in so many ways. Food drives for those in need, stopping racism, ending conflicts and wars and sharing the world's wealth and resources. If we had food drives the needy would appreciate it a lot. A food drive is when you take some of your extra food and give it at a school or community centre and is known as a Food bank and they in turn distribute it to the hungry families. You don't know how happy they would be if they could share a healthy meal with their family on Christmas Day. For starving children, this would be the greatest gift. There would not be as much racism and you can't judge people by their looks. If we got to know people from different nationalities, we would see them the same as you and I. Lawyers, doctors, police officers, massage therapists, teachers, principals, students and bus drivers, they arc all good people, no matter what religion or nationality they are. The pro athletes who make millions could give to the starving third world countries. We could help with the poor Wishing Jou E'veu Tfappiness This `�foliday Season!

The rich and famous could give money to the needy instead of buying their new six million dollar mansions. They are so used to their glitzy lifestyle, they forget the hardships of many in the real world. God made this world and the resources are here that we all have food, water, and shelter. During this Christmas season I hope and pray that our leaders will seek justice and peace but we all can take positive steps. We must be generous and we can all live with less. MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD By Kurt Hoggart Grade 6, St. James When my teacher first asked our class what our Christmas -- wish for the world was, my first thought was toys. The newest, hottest toys like PS2 and X -box. But then I thought of people who don't even have a home for Christmas. People who don't have anything at all. My wish is that we all are able to help out where we can this Christmas. If we see a homeless person on the street, it is my wish that we give them some food or some clothing. But that is not all we should do. We should also take the time to stop at a food bank and drop off some non- perishable food items so that people who are Tess fortunate arc able to have a good meal. Also, some churches are having coat and blanket drives. So if you have old coats and blankets around, it would be a good idea to drop them off and the churches will see that the people who need them, get them. I know that is what I'm doing for Christmas. So forget all the newest and greatest toys and think of all of the less fortunate people this Christmas. This is my Christmas wish for the world. clothing or toy drives, think about starting up your own. This will make you feel good about yourself and your parents might have more trust in you because you are taking a big responsibility. You are also being a liberator of God. Other ways tht we can give in the Christmas season are spending time with elders and other people that need comforted around the Christmas season. If you have some free time, visit the manor or a homeless shelter. You can share all your talents and skills with people that really need it the most. For example you may be really good at singing and every weekend you could go to the manor and sing to all the people. You also might consider asking a teacher at your school if you can make a choir that will go on a school day to the manor or shelter and share your voice with others. We should also be peaceful to our neighbours and friends. Even a hello or a hand shake is nice to get at this time of year. When you are at school you can be nice to your teacher by saying Merry Christmas. We don't only have to be friendly to our neighbours in town but we as Canadians should be nice to other countries especially in this time of peace. An example of being peaceful would be to try to stop any wars that are going on at this time. If we can't stop a war it would be nice enough to just stop the war on Christmas Day and just be one big family. So this Christmas try to help your neighbours or give food or even try to stop a war, but whatever you do be giving and caring. MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD By Brandon Van Dyk • Grade 6, St. James My Christmas wish for the MY CHRISTMAS WISH world is that we all live FOR THE WORLD together peacefully and in By Brandon McGavin harmony. Everyone in the Grade 6, St. James world should be treated My Christmas wish for the equally. world would be that everyone We can help thosc in need is giving and peaceful. A lot in a variety of ways. We can of people think that have food drives, where we Christmas is about getting give any extra food we have. but it is really about giving We can stop racism so that whether you are giving everyone gets along.

At Christmas time, If there are no food, some people just care about the presents when it is really about Jesus and not Santa Claus. Sometimes when there is war people make more weapons when they should reduce weapons so people would not get killed. When they are out of weapons, then they are done and they can't get any more. MY CHRISTMAS WISH FOR THE WORLD By Brent Melody Grade 6, St. James I think that everyone in the world deserves to have a Merry Christmas. I believe there is magic at Christmas. I feel that everybody should be with their family in the Christmas season. My 'Christmas wish for the world is that everyone would have similar thoughts. I wish that everyone had the same spirit, not only at Christmas, but all year long. Everybody should be kind to one another and have respect for others. I wish that world leaders would agree on things so that there wouldn't be any wars. I wish that every country respected each other and wouldn't have fighting. I wish there weren't any horrible weapons that can kill so many people. Weapons should only be used if absolutely necessary. We should always help people in need whenever we can. Everybody deserves to have a warm bed at night and to live in a comfortable home. By helping those in need we can set up food drives (which is donating food), and we can also give them very simple gifts, like toy cars, tractors, etc. We can give our old clothes to the Salvation Army, which will then be passed on to the less fortunate. I wish everybody would remember the true meaning of Christmas. A lot of children think that all Christmas is about is presents and Santa Claus. Part of Christmas is giving and receiving presents, to make sure everybody has a fun and enjoyable Christmas. I wish that all people could be healthy and without disease. Everybody should have hospitality and have first aid when necessary. Nobody should be wounded and not have it looked at because that may cause a disease. Everybody should also have healthy food and clean water. Nobody should die of hunger. hi fact, nobody should die at all. Everybody should live forever. If everybody had peace in their hearts, helped those in need, remembered the true meaning of Christmas, and everybody had proper health care. I would guarantee you everybody would have an excellent Christmas. So please, do these things, and the world will have a great Christmas.
